Guitar Legends Stepping Out Brands They Are Known For


Recommended Posts

OK, I know about early Clapton and Gibson, but for all intent and purposes, Clapton is one of "the" Strat guys.  I think he's way more badass on a Gibson still though. 

80s over processing aside:
 


And later just into a Fender Tweed.

Ha, that pic looks strange, him with a strat. I saw a pic of Jimi with a Gibson, can't remember if it was an SG.

Always loved his V!

A teenage friend had a poster of JH with a white, lefty (I think) SG Custom. I've also seen him with a 50's LP Custom (righty) with P90s.

I actually like the way Clapton and Bonamassa sound a lot more when they switch it up, though if I remember correctly, didn't Joe start really getting known as a Strat player?

Jimi played SGs from time to time.

Here's 'Jimmy James' (Jimi) playing a flipped Jazzmaster circa 1965, backing a Sam and Dave cover act.  I wish those 'headliners'  (who the hell is 'Buddy and Stacey'?) woulda gotten out of the way so we could see Jimi better:

Roy Buchanan with a Les Paul. It's just wrong.

Roy also owned at least one Hamer Standard.  Put THAT in your mind for a second!

When he did it they were just used guitars, not collectible yet.  

Perhaps not as collectible as they were just 10 years later, but they damn sure were collectible.  Ed just never really bought into treating guitars like fine china.

It is like Ace with something else than a LP - no matter. 
Sorry, no pic at hand, but I know they exist, though. 

My favorite Ace "other" guitar: the Breadwinner!

Oh, and (unfortunate choice in blouse, aside) found a color photo with the Ephiphone:
