Most Famous Individual Guitars

Hendrix's fender, the Edge's explorer, or something else? What is the most famous used single guitar ever?
The Top Ten
1 Jimi Hendrix's Fender Strat

This is only number one because he made the national anthem better and lit it on fire

2 Slash's Gibson Les Paul
3 Brian May's The Red Special

This guitar wasn't made of a single part of actual guitar peices. It was made of a bike and fireplace mantle. It has it's own unique sound and a bunch of buttons and knobs and switches only he knows what they do even the pick isn't a pick it's a coin

Hi is the only one who has it
This guitar doesn't sound like fender or gibson, it sounds like the red special, that's why it is so special.
It is really iconic!

The Red Special was actually handmade by him and his father, not custom ordered from a Fender or Gibson catalog, beat that!

Affectionately known by the band as "The Fireplace" I believe. It's the serrated edge on the old UK sixpenny coin that gives it its unique sound.

4 Matt Bellemy's Manson
5 Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat

I think this guitar should be 1st or at least 2nd. Eddie's design was so creative and was so unique which gave a "rock and roll" image with that red, black, and white color scheme. Can't believe it's this low.

How is this number 5?! This guitar stands out so much more than some of the other ones! It should be at LEAST second. Its such a beautiful design and an awesome guitar.

His first guitar was actually only black and white. I agree, it should be at the very least 2nd.

6 Eric Clapton's Blackie Fender Strat

The guitar was used on many sessions and performances and sold at a Christie's auction for a record $959. 500 for charity.

A put-together guitar. But really, he could play a $100 squier and make it sound like a million. ogf

7 Dimebag's Dean
8 The Edge's Gibson Explorer
9 BB King's Lucille
10 Jimmy Page's Doubleneck
The Contenders
11 Angus Young's Gibson SG
12 Tony Iommi's Gibson SG
13 James Hetfield's ESP
14 Billie Joe Armstrong's Blue

Billie Joe's Blue might not be the most known but it is definitely one of a kind and has its own character like no other!

Green Day FOREVER!

He uses the same guitar since he was 11 years old. Blue is a part of Green Day's history and responsible for some of the distinctive sounds.
