Les Paul in 1987 appeared on Late Night with David Letterman.
Les Paul wasn't just a guitarist; he was an innovator, a problem-solver, and a visionary who looked at the limitations of the hollow-body guitar and thought, I can make something better.
Without Les Paul, there's no screaming solos echoing through stadiums, no iconic riffs that defined generations, no rock 'n' roll as we know it. He gave the world the tool that shaped legends — from Clapton to Slash, from Hendrix to Page.
When you've invented the solid-body electric guitar and sit down with David Letterman... you're not just telling a story - you're giving the world the origin of modern music. This 1987 late-night moment is more than an interview. It's a piece of music history... told by the man who lived it.
