Mark Knopfler talks about a Fender Stratocaster
There can't be many people who've not fantasised about becoming a guitar hero. Standing proudly onstage, thrashing out blistering power chords loud enough to make the paint peel from the walls. And there are a number of truly great electric guitars that have stood the test of time.

July 9, 1915 brought the birth of one of the greatest jazz guitarists the world has ever known. This was the day that Lester William Polfuss, who we know as guitarist and inventor Les Paul, was born. Little did his parents know how their little baby would change the guitar world with the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Les began showing signs of musical interest when he took up playing the harmonica at the age of 8. When he was a teenager, he tried his hand at the banjo but switched to the guitar. Les succeeded in mastering the guitar and went on to revolutionalize not only guitar designs and recording techniques but the face of Rock and Roll.
