Date: October 7th, 2024 12:48 PM Author: bjork (jcm) When I think about most famous musical instrument ever (I assume you're talking about mainstream musicians), I keep thinking that Tommy Lee's rotating drum kit is pretty fucking famous, more famous than EVH's guitar. (If we are talking about famous to the general public, not to music nerds) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5607885&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310919#48173111) |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:48 PM Author: 718-662-5970 is that the name of it? lmao I have been drawing that guitar since I was in 3rd grade and i never knew it had a name
trying to think of other candidates:
not nearly as famous, but rock-heads should recognize
bb king's lucille slash's gibson keith richard telecaster id recognize sid vicious's blood smeared fender bass
oh... here's a more famous one, tho still not like eddie's: paul mccartney's violin shaped bass

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:48 PM Author: bjork (jcm) I would actually say BB king's lucille is the most famous guitar to a widespread audience
For me, Zakk Wylde's bumblebee les paul is the most memorable, but I know that's far too obscure for most people. I feel like EVERYONE knows bb king's axe. |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:50 PM Author: bjork (jcm) I feel like I missed EVH's peak popularity by a few years so maybe I am not the best person to comment on this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5607885&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310919#48173122) |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:55 PM Author: michael doodikoff dunno. BB King was never on MTV. Van Halen was one of the biggest rock bands of all time, all over MTV, seen by millions, loved worldwide, and there is one guitar that was associated with the entire band.
Also Lucille is just a standard looking Gibson ES-355. The Frankenstein is some crazy looking super-strat that is immediately recognizable.
I'm with you on the Zakk Wylde Bullseye Gibson Les Paul Custom, but only metal heads know that one. I kick myself for not taking out a loan back in like 2008 when those were in stores for like $3k (at the time I thought that was absurdly expensive, now they are like $12k+ used lol) |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:57 PM Author: bjork (jcm) I think this is a fair assessment.
Honestly, I think I was just never as into Van Halen as much as the general public was, and so maybe I'm not giving him enough credit.
Regardless, I fucking LOVE LOVE LOVE Zakk's Les Paul. Probably my favorite guitar ever. Kirk Hammett's Ouija guitar is prob my #2. |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:51 PM Author: 718-662-5970 the guthrie guitar with "this machine kills fascists" is prob most famous acoustic guitar. still niche knowledge, but it beats every other acoustic (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5607885&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310919#48173123) |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:55 PM Author: Karlstack (Remix ft. Young Blank Bumpz) It’s probably the only musical instrument you could show a man on the street and they would make the connection to the artist. Among music fans and guitar players it’s definitely the most famous. I can’t really think of anything that comes close except maybe Kirk Hammett’s “Caution: Hot” guitar. Maybe Yngwie’s cream strat with the oversized reverse headstock to a way lesser degree.
I think the others mentioned above are too generic to instantly connect it with the artist. |

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:57 PM Author: .,.,...,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,.;,.., obviously it's either wayne's stratocaster from wayne's world or Lisa's saxophone. no one cares about any of this obscure shit.

Date: October 7th, 2024 12:58 PM Author: bjork (jcm) Honestly, it's probably kenny g's faggot soprano sax that the most people would recognize. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5607885&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310919#48173159) |

There are dozens of news stories about it, it has a mythical status, it is missing, it's visually unique, it features in the most popular music act of all time.... it only loses to eddie because of the tv era and the slow death of boomers |
