    6. JIMI HENDRIX

    Hendrix’s playing was often described as incendiary and he once released a song called Fire. He also had a habit of setting his guitar on fire! Poor Strat :(

    7. Bo Diddley

    Bo%20Diddley,%201974%20%2002.jpg
    Hey, Bo Diddley! Like a lot of the old blues guitarists Bo used to make homemade guitars from a cigar box and a broom-stick as a child. They are called diddley bows, which was where he got the inspiration for his stage-name. He went back to that simple, no-nonsense design when he got the chance to create his own signature guitar.

    8. ERIC CLAPTON [THE FOOL]


    No folks, I am not blaspheming and insulting Old Slowhand: The Fool was the name of this beautiful hand-painted Gibson SG which Clapton played in the original supergroup Cream. He literally played the fool :pac:

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

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