Aiya Ibanez was japanese so in real jap, it would be ee-ba-nez

But those Americans can't read romanji, so what happens when they see an "I"?

ai-ba-nez... -_-" for goodness sake...

 

[rottenramone]

ibanez is actually a spanish name, or haven't u watched starship troopers?

 

[MadWerewolfBoy]

I did... But that was... err few ears ago!

 

[ahkiatt]

Yes, yes, it's lessssssss paul, his name is Les... but ask 5 out of 10 guys who own one, and they'll say "dude, it's a lezpaul" just like that.. one word, with a z.

Anyway, I come from Wisconsin (where Les Paul is from) and most of the people there pronounce it with a z too. Maybe it's just our slang. Or the stuff we smoke.

And hey foxblinhope (which I now pronounce ape-blink-hope)...
I actually pronounce Epiphone like this... "copy guitar"

HELLO WISCONSIN!

Leh Phhh

The 'aul' in Paul is a one of those silent 'aul's.
