Maybe not, but he sure as fuck influenced just about every musician from the 1950's until today, there are very few single track recordings out there these days if you aint a bluegrass band.

No, he didn't. He invented the Les Paul Electric guitar, which has been the vehicle of some swee ass music over the years, tho. All ole Les ever played on it was some shitty hick music or something.

RIP

Rickenbacker 'invented' (commercially, others, including Paul had designs but what we know as an axe today was Rickenbackers work) the solid body electric in 1932, Les just came along and showed everyone how to use the damned thing. It was his innovations that led to the Gibson Les Paul.
