STAR GUITAR quiz

the purple tin

Here we have a picture quiz all about the coolest musical instrument ever invented- The Guitar.

Not only do guitars sound great, they look great too. Below you will find twenty two images of guitars which were either owned by famous guitarists or designed as their signature models.

All you have to do is name the musician connected with each instrument, simple as that.

Each correct answer will net you three points- but wait there's more
Several of these guitars were given a nickname by their owners (like BB King calling his guitar Lucille for eg). If you can give me the guitar's name not only will you get to show off your indepth musical knowledge, but you will also bag yourself a bonus two points

So come on, give it a go axe-fans and who knows, maybe you will be crowned the Star Guitar Grand Champion

T & Cs
--We are looking for the name of the guitarist, not the band that they might have played in, but if you really want to show off you can name the band too. Just don't expect any extra points
--A bit of leeway will be given on the spelling of names, if you are in the general area you will be grand.
--Don't forget to number your answers so there are no mix-ups.
--Google is not permitted! Anyone who uses a search-engine to cheat in this quiz will find themselves slowly eaten up by guilt, they will then start hitting the bottle hard to numb the pain. Finally after alienating their friends and family, they will lose their job and home and be forced to move to Moate and work in a call-center. So you see, it is really not worth it.


These are the first five pictures. Guitars number 2 and 4 have a nickname. Can you guess them?

I'm with you on that one, I've never even heard of Zakk Wylde, never mind know what his guitar looks like or whether it has a name.

Images 9 to 13. Number 10 has a name.

the purple tin

Images 14 to 18. Number 14 and 16 have a name.

Technically, and extremely pedantically, so does No. 9. If it comes down to a tie-breaker!

:pac:

Nice idea purple, hopefully you get a few on board. I only (think I) know three though, so I'll have to sit out

Also Starring LeVar Burton

A bit too niche for me as well unfortunately, but hopefully you get some good numbers in, best of luck with it.

I know #17....and that's about it.

Might be worth plugging this in some of the Music forums (with the mods permission, of course! ) maybe? You might get more knowledgeable folk over there who'd be up for this kind of quiz.

osh

I know they're guitars but that's about it :pac:

SineadSpears

Sounds like a really interesting quiz.


I know nothing about guitars only that they sound great. Hopefully you get a few people in the know to play along because I'd love to learn a thing or two!*

Some of the guitars look really interesting. Of course no:17 is the only one I think I know :pac:

& I can at least say I kinda know who Zakk Wylde is. He came up on my feed a few days ago..




*was hoping to get one of the kiddos into guitar or drums lessons. Delicate little pettle chose piano instead

What osh said

This comp is wayyyyyy above my head. Definitely one to advertise in music forum. Think the mods there put a sticky for advertising games.

Two entrants so far
I'll see about touting it on the music forum later on.

Only know one or two of the more obvious guitars. The rest would be needle in a haystack territory for me.

The moral victory or the victory victory?

I don't think there will be any more takers for this so I'll do the reveal tomorrow at about 4 o'clock.

I’ll be following anyway.

Maybe a few of us should enter anyway for the wooden spoon comp?
