He was an amazing guy, a born innovator. Good Gibson Les Paul's from the peak period 1958/59 are now worth megadosh. I'm just thinking of local jazz guitarists who used a Les Paul at some stage - Eric Gamblin and John Hedley spring to mind. I don't think the Les Paul model was as much used for jazz styles as it might have been. Jim Hall used one whilst with Chico Freeman but soon moved to a Gibson 175 which I think he got from Howard Roberts.
