What is the greatest rock guitar ever?

Yeah, I've got an old BOSS multi effects unit with balls to spare, so no problem there!

 

Stratocaster.
It’s the most copied, best selling design.

And, it’s what I play.

 

I'm not an expert, but I'd say the strato is the most versatile

 

No man.. Imagine Eric Clapton with Derek and the Dominos. A Strat and a wah pedal.

 

I cast my vote for the Les Paul, as it seems to me to be the most prevalent and iconic Rock guitar,
especially when one considers its various iterations, i.e. the Standard, Jr. and Custom.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has mentioned the Gibson Firebird.

 

Wow that’s true. In compiling this list I hadn’t even thought of the Firebird. A guitar I know well and certainly has classic status. I mean it’s on the cover of Alive!.....must be getting old. Lol

 

The one played by Buddy Holly and Hendrix.

 

Les Paul Menace. Volume starts at 11 and goes up. Not too heavy. Never seen anyone in a band play one except some Scandinavian death metal guy.

 

I voted for the Fender Stratocaster because I own one.

 

It would have to be a green Musicraft Messenger, of course.

 

Does it get better that these two

 

Stratocaster, definitely. Though the classic Les Paul is awesome as well.

 

I chose the Epiphone Casino because I love the rich & full sound of this guitar. It's mostly on McCartney's albums that I've heard it or the way he plays it. The sound coming from that guitar alone is the reason I love the song "Wild Life" from McCartney's album bearing the same name as the song. It's also quite prominent on the album Band on the Run. Also the lead guitar solo on "Once Upon a Long Ago" is McCartney w/ his Epiphone Casino. Breathtaking.
