May your God bless you Les, your legacy is huge.
+1, for guitars and recording techniques. What an inventor.

Its a good point - it'll be a hell of a wake.

The man is responsible for many people spending a lot of money over the years - myself included.
But I don't begrudge him anything for that at all. If at least some of the cash went to Les himself for that signature on the LP's I am more than happy.

Jimmy Page and his LP is the reason I got into guitars.

Lets not forget he was a huge influence on multi-track recording too. So a lot of people owe a lot to him.

RIP.

I bet he's already serenading the angels!

Life well led indeed, and what a legacy.

RIP.
