Les Paul's estate is up for sale (at least the stuff the family doesn't want):

How is this relevant to vguitarforums?  He has three Casio synth guitars and two Les Pauls with hex pickups and 24-pin Roland connectivity and GR style controls as well as two Les Paul HDX digital guitars in the collection (warning, 400 page PDF - you could be looking and dreaming for quite a while).  Among other stuff.

I was up late looking thru the 400 page PDF.  He's got, seemingly, one of everything. 

What didn't surprise me is the large amount of Les Paul recording models.  What did surprise me was the shred machines, guitar synths, basses, and such.  He seemed to get a lot of guitars as gifts from various people. 

He didn't have much in the way of 50s vintage instruments but did seemingly have one of just about every recent model.  I know they were sent to him for his approval (and he got to keep them of course) but it almost seems like he had TOO MUCH stuff.

That really good 50's vintage stuff is probably long gone to the family and friends. I haven't started in on the list yet for fear of insomnia. I won't sleep once I've started reading. Maybe on the weekend... Thanks Elantric for posting the link!
