Lester Polsfuss
Rock and Roll wouldn't quite be the same. That is if the top-selling electric guitar of all time was the Lester Polsfuss. Can you imagine Jimmy Page rocking out on a vintage Lester Polsfoss? In case you're not catching on, Lester Polsfoss now uses his stage name instead of his real name. His stage name is 'Les Paul'. Although for a while before he became a runaway success on the jazz circuit he was known in hillbilly circles as 'Rhubarb Red'. Now that's a guitar name.

Les Paul indeed...

By the way, that gal holding the white SG Custom isn't really Mary Ford either. Her name is Iris Colleen Summers, aka Iris Hatfield (or Colleen Summers). They divorced in the early 60's. No doubt she got tired of living a lie. Les Paul and Mary Ford never really existed. It was all a fantasy life created by Lester Polsfuss and Iris Summers.
