Prince, Slash, Muse: The Coolest Guitars In Music

A round-up of some funky instruments...

 

  • 10. Matt Bellamy's Manson guitar – Admittedly it's not too much to look at, but this custom built guitar built by Hugh Manson alongside Bellamy is nothing short of genius. It has an array of gadgets and special features built in, so the Muse man can concoct his voluminous sound live on stage.

Following Prince's decision to auction off his gold Fender Stratocaster to Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton, Gigwise thought it was time we paid tribute to some cool guitars.

Like Hamilton's $100,000 purchase, these instruments are likely to set you back a bit, as musician's like nothing more than to splash out on their weapons of choice.

Our round-up includes impossibly funky guitars strummed by the likes of former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, Muse's Matt Bellamy, Slash and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.

There's loads more where that came from, so check out the pictures below now – and leave your comments in the form at the bottom of this page.
