Les Paul - musician and inventor of the first solid bodied electric guitar (the log).

None of it would have been possible without these guys
You Sure that credit doesnt go to a Mr Leo Fender... ? I thought Les Paul didnt really do much except after a lot of persuasion put his name to a Gibson Design [/QUOTE]Leo Fender designed the first electric guitar with a cutaway to allow higher frets to be reached - so he has his place in guitar history, but was pipped at the post by Les Paul.
