That ain't even the tip of the iceberg.
I think his guitar collection alone was something like 300 instruments and Russ Cochran said it looked like Les never threw anything away.

I was wondering when his estate woud start moving some of that stuff out...
...that's how it looks to me...The opinion expressed above is my own and does not necessarily reflect the views of this station. Your mileage may vary...

From page 300-301 of Russ & Michael Cochran's book on Les Paul ("In His Own Words"). And this was just one room of Les' house - there's at least 40 cases in this photo alone...! "Too Much Stuff" indeed - he had enough to keep the auction houses busy for a long time.
