Are you referring to the prototype Les Paul presented to Gibson in the 1940s? That may have been considered the first "true" solid body electric guitar, but Gibson had been producing the acoustic/electric ES-150 since the 1930s. Fender beat Gibson to market with the Nocaster/Telecaster solid-body electric in the early 50s, so Gibson responded by contacting Les Paul and asking him to put his name on the very design they rejected a half-decade earlier.

I am reading an excellent book called Body by Science, by Dr. Doug McGruff and John Little. It picks apart traditional wisdom regarding "cardio" training, calories in vs. calories out, and a lot of other conventional wisdom.

Here he takes critical look at what exactly constitutes "health" and "fitness." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3nt6XPhEZw
