Okay, so I was thinking a lot about this yesterday, while watching The Crossroads Festival on TV. A lot of guitar players have awesome guitars, and vice versa. I really don't know how to explain it, but you'll know in a minute.
Lenny is Stevie Ray's Stratocaster, bought for Vaughan by his wife, Lenora (and named after her), because he didn't have the money to buy it. Cute story.
Brian's Red Special was custom-made by he and his father. A story worthy of rock royalty. Just like Homer's softball bat, or football. There are two wormholes in the back of the guitar.
B.B. King was playing at some gig, when a fire starts. Everyone evacuates the building, but OH NOES! B.B. King left guitar inside! He went through fire and flames to retrieve it! Two people died in the fire. The next day, King learned that the two men were fighting over a woman named Lucille. King named every guitar he has owned Lucille, as a reminder never again to do something as stupid as run into a burning building or fight over women.
So, what do you think are epic guitars, but before you tell, some ground rules first:
Have fun!!!
EDIT:One more rule.
EDITED: I can't remark it hard enough. You just can't go around naming random models. It has to be someone's guitar, owned or played by someone. Someone famous. Or else.

So, what do you think are epic guitars, but before you tell, some ground rules first:
- No fictional guitars, only real-life ones.
It has to be a guitar, no bass, cellos, drumkits, etc.
Also, if you say "Angus Young's SG" or "Jimi Hedrix's Strat", then you need something more, because Angus Young has tons of SGs, and Jimi has too. So maybe better say "Jimi's left-handed Strat" or something like that.
If you can tell us why your guitar is sheer-awesome, then please do.
The guitar must, MUST be played by someone, it can't be awesome on it's own.
Have fun!!!
