Luther Perkin's Jaguar - not iconic but completely, unfathomably cool

Brownie, although the Blind Faith Tele with the brownie's neck would probably better suit me

Doyle Bramhall II's lefty 64 strat

I'm surprised at myself for missing off the Firebird I from the cream years 

Hattigol

George Harrison's rosewood Tele. 
Or Jimmy Page's black beauty that went missing.

Brian Robertson's Black LP Custom from the Live & Dangerous album sleeve pics & tour.

A close call that, but I'd go for Scott's Deluxe. Takes me back to Brum Town Hall 1975, first time I saw Lizzy, been a fan ever since

I could live with that one, too, seeing as Scott G was my favourite out of the two

Would have to be the Ronnie Montrose 58 burst. I would probably whinge about the neck being too slim but reckon I could get over it.

Apparently - it’s not the “funk machine” as that’s been missing for some time - but that’s another of his early 60s precisions tho

I think I recognise that from the Musicians' Hall of Fame in Nashville. Great little museum for musos.

Peter Green's Les Paul
Paul Kossoff's Les Paul
Bernie Marsden's Les Paul
theres a pattern forming here! But just to shake things up:
David Gilmour's Black Strat

Ed Wynne's Ibanez AR2700. - I've had some great times watching this in action. Sadly, it fell apart and is/was hanging on his studio wall.

Bloody hell, ozric fans at the fretboard, Ed certainly is a genius.

I think that it"s the first time that I have seen Edd or Ozric Tentacles mentioned on the board since I have been a member.
I wondered if anyone rated him as I certainly do as a spacey spaced out sort of style player.

Yes I do and I’ve mentioned him a couple of times on the fretboard, amazing guitarist. He does go under the radar of most though. 

Eartrumpet

Simple tastes, Dan Baird's Telecaster

simey83

Easy....

Jimmy Page's No.1

 

Or Rory's Strat

nick79

Would be a toss up between - 
Tony Iommi's Old Boy or James Hetfields 'eet fuck' Explorer.

My top picks:

Edge's black strat and white Les Paul
McCartney's Casino
Pete Townshend's SG special (if there are any left that didn't get smashed)
Keef's Tele Custom
Matt Bellamy's "Bomber" Manson or his original black one
Tom Petty/Mike Campbell's Rickenbacker 660/12 

DarnWeight

Bob Mould's Husker Du-era Ibanez Rocket Roll Jr Flying V copy...

I've been listening to a fair bit of Free lately (not for the first time either, I seem to go through phases). It was bugging me yesterday too and I always get mixed up with this story... but what happened to Kossoff's Les Paul, someone famous owns it now don't they? I always get confused if it's "The Beast" or not.

Sesh

Zappa's SG
Peter Buck's $150 Rickenbacker
Or Gaz Coombes' greenburst Burns.
