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".

I went for Pearly Gates

Although I would have liked to have went for Lucelle there have been so many replacements it wouldn't have been fair.

Yeah I thought about this a lot, problem though that this would be any factory new 70s strat, and they were very short lived ... I had his Psychedelic V but had to remove it due to restricted poll options.

I also had _tom_s Epiphone Les Paul in the list before I had to cut down the options  :twisted:

I have gone for Blackie but among guitars players there will be the usual diverse or polarised opinions. I would (obviously) go for Lennon's Casino or Harrison's "Rocky" and the Strat that Jimi Flamed but Lucille and SRV's guitars are iconic and, indeed, Rory Gallagher's. Then there is Roy Buchanan and so it goes on.
