Fresh from unveiling the Greatest Guitarist of All Time on Gigwise, we thought we'd pay homage to some of the coolest guitars that have been played on the live stage in rock music. They range from  stylish, to iconic, to frankly weird guitars  – just look at Steve Vai's Heart guitar and Rick Nielsen's 'Uncle Dick' for examples. Featuring Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Jimmy Page, Gene Simmons and many more, click through and see who makes number one.

  • To be specific it’s a Korg Kaoss Pad that Mr. Bellamy has built into his Mason guitar. It’’s what he uses for the intro to Invincible".

  • How did Billy Gibbons\' Pearly Gtaes not get a mention? The perfect Les Paul. Not that it matters a fuck. I\'m just bored. There\'s only so much porn one can watch...

  • No Blackie, no Pearly Gates, none of the Beatles Epiphone Casinos or Gretches, no Peter Green out-of-phase Les Paul (in fact, none of the hallowed bursts), no Broadcasters / No-casters, no Lucille... you’re as superficial as a Barbie doll Christmas ornament, and wouldn’’t understand the coolness of transcendent tone if it rang in your ears for a lifetime... ’’gigwise’’ indeed. Oh, and your parser can’’t
