Answer

The Log, Les Paul's prototype guitar, introduced in 1946, was a milestone in solid body electric guitar design and set the stage for the later Gibson Les Paul models. Carved from a single block of wood, it achieved increased sustain and reduced feedback, revolutionizing the sound of electric guitars. This revolutionary concept marked a significant departure from traditional guitar design, paving the way for the future of electric music.
