The 28 Most Recognizable Guitars

Though guitar-like instruments can be traced back as far as 2000 B.C., it was the advent of George Beauchamp's electric guitar in 1936 that changed the face of rock 'n' roll. Nowadays, it's the individual models and the people who play them that are making news.

Blender recently compiled a list of the 28 Most Recognizable Guitars, which includes Dave Grohl's lucite model, Michael Anthony's homage to Jack Daniels, Ace Frehley's laser-shooting six-string and B.B. King's "Lucille" among others.

The list runs the gamut of rock musicians and their trusty instruments, and will appeal to everyone from the classically trained to those who are simply attached to their virtual 'Guitar Hero' Flying V.
