zorrow Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Many iconic players are associated to the type of guitar they play, or even to a very specific guitar of their own. Sometimes however they try something else. Do you guys have pictures of your preferred guitarists playing other guitars than what they’re known for? I’ll go first! This is Michael Schenker, who’s known for playing Vees, pictured playing Les Pauls: 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Man Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Scofield is best known for his Ibanez semi-hollow, but I dig him with a tele. Curiously enough, he still sounds like Scofield when I've seen him with a tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would someone go to the trouble of photoshopping a tshirt/LP on this photo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, it was a 10 string he stung up as a 6 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
