A music legend died Thursday.
Les Paul, known for inventing "multi-track recording" and a "special gibson guitar design", died at ninety-four.
Tom Wittrock of Springfield's Third Eye Musictells us a Les Paul guitar is the best there is.
He collects the guitars - and has one from '58, '59, and '60.
The 1960 guitar was his first vintage Les Paul. He bought it in Springfield for $2,000, now it's worth 100's of thousands.
"it seems like much better than the stock market. What a lot of people don't realize is, of course, if you never sell it, you never reap that financial gain, but there are dividends these instruments pay and that's the music you get from them and the enjoyment you have from owning them," says Wittrock.
