Lester William Polsfuss is a man who needs no introduction, at least when you introduce him by his other name: Les Paul.

The guitarist and music gear innovator changed the course of the electric guitar’s history with his eponymous guitar design. He also masterminded the invention of multi-track recording, with his Monster console a vital piece of music history.
