Google honors Les Paul electric guitar with Doodle


Google likes to celebrate birthdays of people who marked the history of mankind or historical dates through known Doodles on their homepage. I thought the company was able to overcome with Doodle Pac-man and I could not repeat the feat so early. He was wrong. Today the front page of world's most used search engine sports an electric guitar for honoring its founder, Les Paul.


Surely this is not the first interactive Doodle by the company, but should be the first that can play with either the mouse or the keyboard. Come on, have fun. Let's see how much of the productivity world Google can steal this time.

William Lester Polsfuss, also known as Les Paul, born June 9, 1915, not only invented the solid body electric guitar but also was a talented musician who managed to sell millions of records in his career, coming up for the Hall of Fame Museum in the U.S. Rock and Roll. He died in August 2009 due to pneumonia.
