    Old ‘Conk-Face’ had a nasty habit of smashing his guitar up after every performance which he says almost ruined the Who in the 60s as it was costing so much to replace all the wrecked instruments.

    So finally, to the scores. It really came down to the wire but Endacl is our Star Guitar Champion after managing to just pull clear of Arghus. Some great knowledge on display: they even managed to identify which Hendrix show the burnt strat came from!
    My favourite award, the wooden spoon goes to Reberetta.

    Prince's guitar is the only one I would have definitely got right. After that, it would have been hit or miss - mainly miss! :)

    same here, and I was going to submit a list of random guitar players from bands i like just so I could be part of the reveal. even if i was 100% linking them to the wrong guitar.

    but I would have needed to google their names, so then I'd have been half cheating.

    so I just said scrap that, I'll stick my nose into the reveal anyway :D

    Here’s a sillier one. The ‘Pikasso’, built by Canadian luthier Linda Manzer for Pat Metheny. Only 3 necks, but 42 strings!


    It might look silly but having heard Metheny playing it in the NCH a couple of years ago I can assure you it sounds amazing. Mind you, a plastic ukelele would probably sound amazing in Pat's hands!

    Part of the act, he used lighter fluid. Shame to waste a guitar but it did look very cool though :cool:

    There was a story doing the rounds that Frank Zappa got his hands on what remained of that guitar and gave it to Abraham Wechter - John McLaughlin's luthier - and he brought it back to life and that said guitar is now in the possession of Frank's son Dweezil. However, I've read elsewhere that that's a load of not true.
