What are the iconic guitars in your opinion?

Tony Levin and his Chapman Stick

 

Yeah, looks like a Rex Bogue.

McLaughlin's Double Rainbow didn't last long. It was only around for a few years 'til it had an accident. For a while, Ibanez did a fancy doubleneck that was reminiscent, but not quite as detailed.

 

Some of my guitars

 

Syd's iconic Tele

 

1959 Les Paul Junior TV
The Guitars That Built Rock: The Gibson Les Paul Junior

 

I would say Randy Roades' Les Paul Custom.

 

Lindsey Buckingham's custom made Turner.

 

Diamond Darrell played some Dean ML guitars and I think the lightning bolt one may be the most wide known. Later Washburn made ML copies for him.


Jason Becker had a custom Peavey numbers guitar. Later Carvin reissued it and a similar Blue Carvin DC200 that he played later. Carvin changed their name to Kiesel and they still make several versions of the numbers guitar and the Blue DC200.



Jason Becker- "Blue"

 

Richard Thompson get his special sound from strats.

 

David Hill and his Superyob.

 

Honestly, whoever was playing them... pick out you’re favourite guitar and it’s their touch that distinguishes- which is why there’s a hundred threads dedicated to what guitar player played which guitar when, but you can still pick a Hendrix, Clapton or Harrison solo from a thousand paces

 

that is one ugly guitar! LOL

 

if a guitar ever fit a person so perfectly! : )

 

Correct

 

I'll see your Les Paul and raise you a Jackson.

 

Kurt Cobain, with Mustang, or Jaguar.

 

I'm sure his guitar was selected as a homage to his heroes, but I now associate the Gretsch 6120 with Brian Setzer.

 

Buckethead’s Les Paul, which is larger scaled than a normal Les Paul and of course very distinct look:

 

Neil Young's D-45

 

And made him sound like crap.

 

really? I thought it sounded fine...it's a Martin!
