With a guitar other than the one they’re known for?


Recommended Posts

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: 🙂

Brian May —two with the Gibson “The V” he used as a backup in the 80’s, and one with a Washburn V:

Did a double-take on this one. 70s-era hair and bracelet with a Jetboy tshirt? Why would someone go to the trouble of photoshopping a tshirt/LP on this photo?

Leo Fender did try to get Les to endorse what was to become the Telecaster, before Gibson gave him his 'signature' guitar, but no dice:

John 5 has his own 'signature' Fender Tele model, but he's not against trying something different (besides playing guitars from the HRC collection):

Dave played BC Rich early on in his Metallica days. He played a Bich quite a bit. If I remember correctly, it was a 10 string he stung up as a 6 string.
