Which is the best "famous" guitar ever!

[Will]

Les Paul's Les Paul!
Randy will have to do though, would like the polka dot option though

i'm pretty happy people have picked less than pristine guitars... players guitars. from the list i pick 'pearly gates' although, actually what i wanted to choose is KK Downings '67 V... or possibly his Medallion V.

the white/black V of schenker would be a wise choice, although he had lots of the those, so as some one pointed out not just one physical guitar.

sounds ridiculous, but if someone offered me to swap the '67 Downing V for my beaten up Epi '57... well, i'm pretty attached to that Epi. of course i'd do it, but it would be a struggle. likewise the medallion for my steinberger.

wonder if anyone would swap the favourite guitar in their collection for one of these famous axes.

For ROCK, I voted for the E.V.H Frankenstrat.


I sure would like one of Zakk Wylde's custom Flying 'V's though ...


( not that I could do either full justice however  ..... )

I went for the wonder that is the immortal Pearly Gates for the sheer fact that it always was, and still is, the Reverends main weapon of choice.
Lucille has had too many incarnations, Page plays too many guitars (No1, No2, No3, Telecasters, that doubleneck etc!), and EVH now doesn't use the frankenstrat......which was a shed in my opinion anyway.  Yes EVH made it sound amazing, but would you cherish it????

What about Mr Youngs SG?

[HTH AMPS]

gotta be Pearly Gates - that guitar always sounds so sweet.

helps when you can play like the Rev.B as well.

All great guitars, Gilmour's Strat is a particular favourite, but it has to be Randy's LP Custom. I occasionally flirt with the idea of grabbing an Edwards LPC in antique white just so I can put a snakeskin strap on it and play "Mr Crowley".

you know Randy used the PDV for that song right ?  :P

What is the the threadnomancy, people?!!!

[Muttley]

I'd vote for EVO: http://www.vai.com/Machines/guitarpages/EVO/EVO_index.html

[Mr Ed]

I'd say EVH's Frankenstein because there is no mistaking who it belongs to.

I'm not saying it's my favourite... but it's the most famous.

Vai's swirled Universes. Yes, all of them.

[Mr Ed]

Malcolm Young's Gretsch Jet Firebird. (ugly but an icon)
Angus Young's SG
James Hetfield's white ESP Explorer
Keith Richard's Tele
Slash's sunburst Les Paul with 'normal' maple top
