- 26. Billy Gibbons's Gretsch Jupiter Thunderbird Guitar - The story goes that Bo Diddley gave the ZZ Top man his unique Jupiter Thuderbird guitar. Not wanting to ruin the priceless item, Gibbons created a new guitar with Gretsch which took the same Diddley design but put his own spin on it. A truly classic instrument.
