Legendary Players
The icons who defined the sound of the electric guitar and their signature instruments.
Jimi Hendrix
Fender Stratocaster
Famous for his white Stratocaster at Woodstock and the one he burned at Monterey. He revolutionized the instrument with feedback and effects.
Jimmy Page
Gibson Les Paul / EDS-1275
The Led Zeppelin wizard known for his 'Number One' 1959 Les Paul and the iconic double-neck SG used for 'Stairway to Heaven'.
Eddie Van Halen
Frankenstrat
Built his own guitar combining a Gibson PAF pickup with a Fender body and neck. His 'striped' design is one of the most recognizable in history.
B.B. King
Gibson ES-355 'Lucille'
Named his guitar 'Lucille' after saving it from a burning building. The King of Blues rarely played chords, letting his vibrato sing.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Fender Stratocaster 'Number One'
His battered 1963 Stratocaster (with a '62 neck) delivered massive tone through heavy strings and fierce attack.
David Gilmour
The Black Strat
Used on Pink Floyd's greatest hits. Heavily modified over decades, it sold for nearly $4 million at auction for charity.
