Legendary guitarist Les Paul, who pioneered designs of electric guitars and helped usher in the birth of rock and roll, has died aged 94.A passionate tinkerer, he created one of the first solid-body electric guitars in 1941, and went on to pioneer multi-track recording.
Paul played a key role in the birth of rock and roll in the early 1950s when he teamed up with Gibson.
The groundbreaking design became the template for the manufacturer's best-selling electric - the Les Paul model.
Introduced in 1952, the instrument continues to be held in the highest esteem.
