Every guitar has a personality, and every individual guitarist connects with a different personality. It is hard to objectify one guitar as good and the other as bad because what works for one guitarist may not work for the other. Even so, some paradigmatic guitar brands have earned a kind of cult status. They are symbols of quality, style, taste, and sometimes, a deep pocket! Some older than the rest, these are the guitars that every novice guitarist dreams of owning and every amateur works towards. If you are new to the world of guitar, you will benefit from learning about these guitars, as they are likely to be mentioned repeatedly in guitar-related conversations.
Created in the 1950’s, the Les Paul is available in Studio, Standard, Traditional and other models. Related in history to the reputed player Slash, Les Paul includes an impressive line of guitars endorsed by legendary guitarists like Eric Clapton, Billy Joe Armstrong, Marc Bolan and, of course, Les Paul himself. It has a sturdy body of thick wood that helps you generate a full-throated and rich sound.
2. Fender Telecaster
When it was released in 1949, it was called “broadcaster” and was priced at $169. Now, 60 years later, it has come to be one of the most iconic guitars ever. Played by the likes of Keith Richards, Elvis Presley and Bruce Springsteen, the “Tele” gives you an archetypal electric guitar sound, used widely in rock and jazz music.
3. Ibanez RG-7321
This string electric guitar appeals to players because of its unique neck structure and its ability to emanate a sharp, intense and raw sound. A relatively affordable model, it lends itself mostly to heavy rockers and metal faddists. Ironically, it is itself made of a very lightweight wood, which allows guitarists to play it for a long time without too much stress on the hands.
4. Fender Stratocaster
Born in 1954, the “Strat,” as it is endearing called, has found its way to the hearts of musicians like John Lennon, Jimmy Hendrix, John Mayer and Ronnie Wood (literally in some cases, because artists have been known to get strat tattoos on their chests). Fender and Gibson tend to compete for “greatest guitar” status, but even those on the Gibson team cannot deny the unique striking ringing sound of the Sratocaster. Its presence in many iconoclastic songs has given it classic stature.
5. Taylor 514ce
Taylor has long held the reputation of producing America’s best guitars, particularly due to its signature Expression System electronics. These electro-acoustic guitars give off that unembellished, even-handed sound that welcomes more listeners and encourages the guitarist to keep playing. Made in a mixture of mahogany and red cedar, the Taylor is definitely a must for your guitar career.
6. Gibson ES-335V
Another one competing to shine among the Strats and the Les Pauls, the ES-335V is extraordinary in its light design that can still produce an overwhelming melody. Formulated by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, this Gibson piece gives you a gritty but persevering bridge alongside playful neck tones.
7. Yamaha Pacifica 112V
If you want a modern paragon at an economical price, you should go for a Yamaha. Formulated in Hollywood and manufactured in Indonesia, this alder-bodied reliable instrument is ideal for starters, students and those looking for a solid back up. Originally made in 1993, the Pacifica has gone through many upgrades and the company ensures that you are buying latest technology at a reasonable price.
8. Gretsch White Falcon
If the name reminds you of elegance, pride and dominance, Gretsch has succeeded in its mission! The White Falcon represents penultimate style and grandeur with its white and gold features, replete with seashells. But don’t be fooled by its beauty, the Falcon can slay any rock tune with its thin neck and killer tonal features. We agree with Jimmy Webster from Fender when he calls it “the dream guitar.”
9. DanelectroDano ’63 Baritone
Danelectro earned fame in the early ‘60s thanks to Jimmy Hendrix, who named his Danelectro after his high school girlfriend, and Jimmy Page. Dano ’63 is the latest in the Danelectro family – the original introducers of Baritone guitars. The thick tone of the Dano will definitely leave some glasses around you shattered.
10. Epiphone Casino
A guitar that came under the limelight because of magnates like Lennon, McCarteney and Harrison, the Casino has a small but die-hard fan club. Most people that have it, have had it for several years and it has never disappointed them.
