Most iconic guitarists are forever linked with a particular guitar.
Hendrix = Strat.
Setzer = Gretsch.
Or does it?

Any other odd pairings?

Clapton played a lot of guitars but this one is kinda out of left field

The ever-photogenic SRV with a 335

Gilmour brandishing a Tele

Noel Gallagher who, I'm pretty sure was quoted as saying "Fenders are for girls" eating his words

Oh Noel, we could never be angry at you. <3

Can't post pic for some reason - it's John Fogerty playing an EVH-style Ernie Ball guitar (with 4/2 tuning key configuration).

Here's another: http://www.butterfunk.com/image-54/john%20fogerty.htm

I'd be remiss if I didn't include this, too.

Yep, SRV with a Rick.

Somewhere I have a picture of SRV with a Les Paul. He should have played them more, it looked good on him.

Michael Schenker

I'm sure a lot of you know he was fond of these but it's pretty far from his 'iconic' look...

ScottieHotrod · July 3rd, 2012, 02:55 PM

And Keith, who is technically famous for playing just about every type of guitar ever.

He just looks too neat in this picture..

BBill64 · July 3rd, 2012, 02:57 PM

G-man with mandolin
