Si hacemos caso a la historia de cómo Les Paul experimentó hasta llegar al diseño final, parece ser que sí. El bueno de Les ya estaba haciendo guitarras sólidas experimentando con maderos y vías de tren desde su adolescencia, antes de que Leo saliese con la Telecaster.
Pero si Les Paul participó 0 en el diseño de la Les Paul.... si casi le parten la guitarra The Log en la cabeza cuando se la fue a presentar a Gibson.... Cuando la Telecaster triunfó, Gibson diseño algo que nada tenía que ver con la The Log y le dijo a Les Paul que le ponían su nombre para ver si vendían algo...... No sé, llegamos a unos límites de retorcer la realidad por amor a una marca que me deja perplejo....
El único que está ahora retorciendo las cosas por poder echar pestes sobre otro forero estás siendo tú.
Te recomiendo que cuando te dirijas a mí o me cites, intentes ser respetuoso, o de lo contrario me rebajaré a tu nivel y la cosa puede acabar mal para los dos. Si fueses medianamente educado podríamos tener una conversación civilizada y a lo mejor aprendíamos algo los dos.
Dicho esto, para que veas que lo que dices no es reflejo de la historia, te dejo un fragmento de una entrevista con el hombre. Si después de leerlo quieres añadir algún matiz, exponer otros datos sacados de otra fuente o lo que sea, intenta esta vez hacerlo con educación.

Q - Mr. Paul, you're probably one of the few guitarists to have a guitar named after you, correct?
A - Yup.
Q - Did you approach Gibson or did Gibson approach you?
A - I approached them...for ten years! (laughs) and finally got it. I first had to prove the idea that a solid body electric (guitar) was where to go, that there was a place in the world for that. It was a great challenge because no one seemed to be tuned into that frequency.
Q - Who designed the look of the guitar? You or Gibson? Did you have final approval?
A - It was mutual. The reason it was mutual was because we wanted to get the sound we wished without having a ten ton weight of the instrument. We wanted it small because there was no reason to have it acoustic for sound. It was gonna be all done electrically. When I designed the guitar, I did not design it with the arch top. It was the president, their chairman of the board that was a collector of violins. He had a Stradivarius in his vault. So that afternoon we were designing this whole thing about making the Les Paul solid body. It was a flat top. So he said "You want to go look at some of my collection?" When we did, he said "Isn't that beautiful?" I said "But, it's so expensive. It would be difficult to do." "Not for us" he said. "We do that with our arch top hollow bodies. We have the equipment to do that, where others don't." He said "if you love the guitar as much as I do the violin..." and I agreed with him; to have a beautiful instrument. That's where we went with something that not only sounded good and was good, but it was something beautiful. That is the guitar that we're most proud of. What a pretty looking instrument it is!
