    Les Paul - RIP

    Here is a fun photo of Les Pauls studio - complete with a (Altec? Lansing?) Iconic speaker system:

    The original Iconic is described here:

    Funny - I just set up my turntable a couple of days ago, after being packed away for almost two years. Now where's that copy of "Chester and Lester"...

    Now that I see it 'supersized', clearly the Iconic is pre-Altec.

    What a guy, RIP LP.

    Back when Bill revived the 417, I wanted one but he only had a handful of prototypes built, and wanted to send those to select pickers for review. LP was on his list. Wonder if he got to try it?
