Les Paul is pronounced as LESS POL. Why? Lester William Polsfuss.

I *think* Ibanez is pronounced as AY-BAN-NEZ and not I-BAN-YEZ. Why? Spelling nya ay Ibanez, NOT Ibañez.

+1

someone actually corrected me about Les Paul being pronounced as "LEY-POL"..

.natawa na lang ako sa loob ko.

recalling that the "les" in Les Paul came from Lester.

Ley Paul is actually the correct pronunciation but no one uses it.

Ibanez is Ai - Ban - ez

"Ley Paul" as in Leyter Polsfuss?

"Lester William Polsfuss, known as Les Paul (June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009) was an American innovator, inventor, musician and songwriter."

I don't see french anywhere.

Japanese ang origin ng company nila e, kaya dapat ang pagbaybay ganoon din. TA-KA-MI-NE.

The name Ibanez actually originated from a Spanish guitar maker, so as a matter of detail, either the Hispanic I-BA-NYEZ or the Anglicized AY-BA-NEZ should do.
