Top 10 Best Gibson Guitars

James Hetfield.

It's amazing. Why is the Explorer Reissue '76 even up there? Not only do I think it looks stupid, but the sound and total value are ten times worse. When I play a Les Paul Classic, it feels perfect. When I play an Explorer Reissue, it compares to a higher-quality Epiphone. It's an amazing guitar and is very fun to play. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a decent amount of skill with guitars.

The Explorer Reissue '76 is terrible compared to this beauty. The vintage sunburst color is very rich. I would rather pay $10,000 for this than $100 for the Explorer Reissue '76.

It's better than the Les Paul for its sound and looks cooler with the cherry red and its buffalo-like horns.

This guitar has horns like the devil. The devil is rock and roll, so yeah, the Les Paul sucks.

Angus Young is awesome. Combined with the SG, you get a monster.

Nice looking, nice sounding.

Crazy guitar. Best with heavy distortion.

Oh, the Explorer is a great guitar.

Just an awesome raw tone. If you twiddle the tone knob just right, you can emulate a neck pickup from the H-90 bridge, so you can still get the Sweet Child O' Mine lead tones!

Very nice for classic rock and melody making.

Very unique sound. Weird guitar.

Crazy acoustic guitar, great for just about everything - except rock.

So many great players have used this guitar, like Freddie King, B.B. King, Clapton, Alex Lifeson, and Chuck Berry. Les Paul is great, but since I'm more of a blues player, the ES-335 gets my vote.

Should be higher than 16! This is the supreme semi-hollow guitar.

Why is this ranked so low? It should be number 7 at least.

It's amazing!
Very light and comfortable.

Great sound and good looking, plus Kirk Hammett has one.

I think it's Gibson's coolest looking guitar and best sounding, but that's just me.

I love the Explorer. A real rock sound.

I've only been playing for one month, but the Songwriter Deluxe Studio makes me want to keep on learning.
