Les Paul grave.

Les Paul Gravesite

Inside Prairie Home Cemetery, take the second right around the bend. Very interesting tomb -- awesome guitar carved into headstone. Les Paul was known as the "Wizard of Waukesha."

[Libby, 10/27/2012]

Les died in 2009; the monument, a 500-sq. ft. granite work by Rock of Ages, was installed in September 2011.
