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.
