  • Many were saddened by the news that the legend guitarist Les Paul passed away last August 13 at the age of 94 because of pneumonia. Les Paul, born Lester Polfuss in Wisconsin, was a quick study on guitar, and was playing professionally while in high school. Dropping out at age 17, he played in radio bands and released albums, mostly jazz, eventually he created an electric guitar called the Log, and later received a prototype from the Gibson Guitar Company that was given his name. The Gibson Les Paul, one of the most popular guitars ever, and many guitarists get short term loans to get one. It's bad to lose a legend such as
    Les Paul, but a cash advance can get you his recorded works – or one of his guitars.
