Google Les Paul Guitar

In honor of what would have been the 96th birthday of legendary guitarist and innovator Les Paul (he passed away in 2009), Google has decided to make musicians out of us all with an interactive guitar Google logo.
If you’re curious, the doodle was made with a combination of JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas (used in modern browsers to draw the guitar strings), CSS, Flash (for sound) and tools like the Google Font API, goo.gl and App Engine.
