Great Electric Guitars
There can't be many people who've not fantasised about becoming a guitar hero. Standing on stage, head down, legs apart, chopping out a blistering guitar solo so loud that it makes peoples ears bleed. And there are a number of truly great electric guitars that have stood the test of time.
One of the most famous electric guitars is the Fender Stratocaster. Originally designed back in 1954 the Fender Stratocaster was the guitar of choice for Jimi Hendrix who played left handed. This is also the guitar selected by Pete Townsend of the Who and, of course, Eric Clapton. The Fender Stratocaster is as popular today as it ever was, a testament to the excellent design.
Another well known and popular electric guitar from Fender is, of course, the Telecaster. This beautifully simple instrument was first introduced as the Broadcaster in late 1949 and has been in continuous production ever since. There are many well known guitar heros who like to play Tele's. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones is probably one of the most famous guitarists who chooses to play Telecasters.
If we are talking about classic guitars we must of course mention the fantastic Gibson Les Paul. This is another iconic electric guitar that was first produced back in the 1950s and has been in production ever since. Jimmy Page, of Led Zeppelin and Yardbirds fame, is just one guitarist who chose the Gibson Les Paul. The sound of this great instrument was heard everywhere in the song 'Alright Now' by the band Free, played by the late Paul Kossoff and a modern day player of this great guitar is Slash of Guns'n'Roses fame.
Since I've given a mention to two Fenders its only fair that I should talk about two great Gibsons. I could have chosen the great Gibson ES335, a personal favourite and popular with many great guitarists including BB King, but instead I've picked the exceptional Gibson SG. This distinctive looking solid body electric guitar was introduced in the early 1960s to compete with the popular Fender Strat. This is the guitar of choice for Angus Young, lead guitarist and songwriter in the Australian rock band ACDC. It was also the guitar of choice for Tony Iommi, guitarist in the well known rock band Black Sabbath.
These days there are just so many excellent electric guitars but, for me, these four are the top models that have stood the test of time.
