    I'll have to argue when you start talking tone. When I think of Jimi I think of fuzz face and marshall stacks and the way he played. SRV on the other hand has such a epic guitar tone that many strat players (Mayer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Mike McCready, etc) tones are based in what SRV did.

King, "SG Angus" Basses: Gibson (weird because most famous players 2nd or 3rd bass) Gene Simmons, Krist Novoselic. Rick - Tie - Geddy/Squire P- Jamerson J fretted - Marcus Miller J fretless - Jaco Sting Ray -Flea I did not mention Mcartney's Hofner because it is utterly defined by him alone.

His tone was astonishing! Also James Burton left out of Tele consideration - I agree Billy Gibbons has a very unique Les Paul sound. I know - too many great players to really do justice to this topic. Thanks for the video

He actually did allot of studio work on his Les Paul goldtop and even tho the strat was his main guitar I almost feel like his style and tone is more of what I’d associate with a goldtop

    I live fairly close to Southern Pines and I had walked past Casino Guitars a dozen times or more before finally stepping foot in there a few weeks ago. I figured I wouldn’t see Baxter or Jonathan-that they would be too busy prepping more video content or something. I figured they’d have people working the floor who I’d never seen. What did I actually see the moment I walked in? Baxter. Sitting in the show room, casually playing a beautiful acoustic in the same fashion we have come to know and love from their videos. I was a bit start struck, but I’m pretty sure he said, “Hey, guys” to me and my kids. There he was! In the flesh. Doing exactly what he does in videos. And he was friendly, too! You know what I saw next? You guessed it. Jonathan. He walked in (he’s just as big as you think-towered over me) and immediately we started talking. In short order he had given me a tour of the store. He even took me back to where they film their videos. It was awesome and a bit surreal. He invited me to play anything. I probably could have jammed on the same guitars we see hanging behind them in their videos. I probably could have plugged into those same amps (like the one Jonathan drove 8 hours out of his way from a gig to pick up for Baxter-do you remember that story?). Unfortunately, I was in a rush, so I wasn’t able to take him up on the offer. Regardless, I left their store an even bigger fan. When I finally decide to lay down a grand or more on a proper guitar, I will absolutely be purchasing it from them. They’re exactly what they say they are.

    ULTIMATE TONE - Leslie West with a single cutaway LP Junior.Magic and unique tone with almost no silly processing of any kind. Just a huge Sunn tube amp cranked playing through many 12" eminence speakers. THAT was the Studio sound for "Mississippi Queen", etc....The live Marshall stack tone for him was good but the original Sunn Junior combo was a-ma-zing.

    I've got a no brainer. Red Special: Brian May But also, has anyone mentioned a guy called Hank B. Marvin? He wasn't too shabby on the old Stratocaster. And so many British guitarists became guitarists simply because of him. And not only that, but the Strat he played was the first one to EVER be imported into Britain. Cliff Richard bought it for him. The Shadows tunes are Stratocaster tones in their purest form. Having said that, I don't have a problem with SRV being the Strat guy of choice here. He'd be in my top three in a list including Hank Marvin, Hendrix, Knopfler, Gilmour, Blackmore and Buddy Holly. And I agree with the notion that Clapton never really made a Strat sound like a Strat necessarily.

    it was interesting that my first thoughts on all of the guitars except the Strat (and I thought Tom Petty on the Ric) was the same as yours. however, I would say that Jimi Hendrix is more synonymous with the Strat than SRV (even though my pick would be John Frusciante ☺). great video guys!

    Good discussion. I immediately went Jimmy Page for Les Paul, but the case can be made that he was a telecaster guy early. For Rickenbacker, my mind first thought Peter Buck of R.E.M, although the Byrds and Tom Petty were right there, too. Telecaster: Not so much a guitar hero, but the image for me is "Born To Run." Springsteen. Also featured on his live box set from the 80's.

    I don't wanna be that guy, but I REALLY think you should have done positions on the guitar that have artists names etched into them. I think there was a PRS Artist Check In with John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith talking about that concept. I think recently it was mentioned again in a Rhett Shull podcast with Jared Scharff.

    Great segment to have fun with. Of iconic guitars that match a player I think #1 is Angus Young with the SG. #2 Hendrix for the Strat. SRV fine selection as well but Hendrix = Strat Fender would not have survived it wasn’t for Hendrix IMO. #3 Page or Slash for the LP tough choice but yes hard to argue that one. #4 Paisley for tele I agree ! I’m a rocker but it’s fun to watch that country dude shred the telecaster! Enjoy the shows fellas ! I think you could argue Page as well for tele , I’m mean if Slash gets it because of appetite for destruction , keep in mind Page Zep 1 was a tele and arguably the best rock song of all time Stairway to Heaven , that melodic perfection of a solo was recorded on non other then a telecaster . Don’t be left dazed and confused on this one , don’t let your communication breakdown and not realize I just can’t quit you babe , whether good time or in bad , I might put you down for a while but stairway to tele Heaven is really through Mr. Jimmy Page.

    When I think Tele I think Springsteen, G.E. Smith,Jeff Beck even Prince over Paisley. Also Gretsch's Malcolm Young and Billy Duffy were excluded even though your absolutely correct on Setzer being synonymous with Gretsch! Gibson 355. I remember this guy that used to play one on T.V. Think he went by B.B. King or something. Appetite F.D. featuring Sweet Child o mine was released in 87. Not 91. However I do agree Slash being the most recognized L.P player. How about famous Dean ML series? Or Gibson Flying V or The Explorer? Great episode and a fantastic topic but you guys have to complete this discussion with a part 2 or 3 if need be!

    GnR Appetite was '87. it always seemed more a Marshall tone to me. and i love Page, its kinda funny that the Tele was used on 1 and 2, the Telecaster that sold thousands of LP's. i thought of Albert Collins and Muddy Waters when u said Tele. and i find it curious how Teles are seen most often as a country style and framed with a specific picking technique when discussing a Tele sound.

BB King Gibson Les Paul: Slash Gibson Firebird: Johnny Winter Fender Telecaster: Keith Richard Fender Stratocaster: SRV (but only because Jimi Hendrix has so many DIFFERENT tones he could draw from a Stratocaster. No single one was dominating) Fender Jaguar: Kurt Cobain Rickenbacker: John Lennon Another good one. Do this for bass guitars as well, please?

Im a lefty so I have to pretty much custom order everything Ive had...and after 4 decades, Ive ended up getting rid of all strats/teles , keeping all my partscasters and 1 Les Paul (a 2012 I like dbetter than 6 ohers Ive had from 69-2018).
