Kimo Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 How 'bout being so hard core about playing guitar that, when you pretty much destroy your right elbow, you have the doctors set it at a permanent right angle so at least you'll still be able to play.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 A tinkerer and musician since childhood, he experimented with guitar amplification for years before coming up in 1941 with what he called "The Log," a four-by-four piece of wood strung with steel strings "I went into a nightclub and played it. Of course, everybody had me labeled as a nut." He later put the wooden wings onto the body to give it a tradition guitar shape.In 1952, Gibson Guitars began production on the Les Paul guitar.
