Here's a picture of Les and many of the prototypes for the electric guitar. He refered to these as "The Log".

Les Paul's guitar, the Gibson Les Paul, began production in 1952. They changed the design in 1961, which is below, and Les didn't like it, so they started producing both guitars in 1968, the latter was renamed the Gibson SG.

The Les Paul is used by many popular musicians: Slash, Zakk Wylde, Duane Allman, and Eric Clapton(he now uses fender strats, what a shame) immediately come to mind. The SG is used by many people also: Angus Young, and Black Sabbath'sTony Iommi are known by their use of the Gibson SG.
