Surely this need Vai's Evo, and Paul's erm...

Paul's got soo many different PGM's and I don't know if he has a favourite :p

I would say Rhoad's white V, considering he designed it himself and redesigned the V. It seemed like his design was a huge impact on the shape of metal guitars. and Randy is just awesome. :twisted:

I voted BFG's Pearly Gates. That is the quintessential LP for me.

And PG's Les Paul is ace, although I'm not a massive fan of the out of phase sound.

I'd say zappa's SG or Garcia's Tiger personally. I'd also give my right bollock for Gilmour's '54 white strat.

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


 :D :lol:

Out of those options I would say SRV strat, though I have to say I like the Jack Bauer (yes that is his real name :P) sig guitar is nice even if he's not famous for playing guitar. The Warren Haynes LP looks awesome tho - http://www.gibsoncustom.com/inspiredby/WarrenHaynes.html

Actually, not very classic and not a famous guitar player, but when I was in Ft. Lauderdale last week, I went to a guitar shop and saw a spanking new Gibson Kiefer Sutherland, now this is a seriously beautiful guitar and I'm sure it sounds fantastic.

It's Pearly for me.  Surely the greatest Les Paul in the world?

None of these guitars cut it compared to Frank Zappa's custom made SG, or John Mchlaughlin's white double necked SG, that snapped in half in the 70s.

Loving how Frankenstein is winning - Considering it's probably one of the worst guitars in the world - Other than the "Super" bass ofcourse...

I think people misunderstand the question ;p
