And when you start to feel real success, when you start to live large and all that, you have to stop and ask yourself if you think you really deserve it. Anyone that isn’t a complete asshole will come up with the answer “No.” Because of course you don’t. When guys you grew up with are working three jobs. Or they’re lost overseas like we lost Chuck. Of course you don’t deserve it. You have to learn how to reconcile those two things. Having it and not deserving it.

Les, of course, had had almost nothing to do with the development of the instrument, adding only a bridge he’d developed (which, because of a production error, hampered the earliest models) and insisting on the gold finish. But he’d let the claim stand. For decades, it would help buttress the wildly incorrect statement (which Les also never quite denied) that he “invented” the solid-body electric guitar, an instrument that simply can’t be attributed to one single person.
