Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some of the most awesome signature guitars of all time. Your average guitar player (if they can afford one) usually plays a
Fender Strat, a Gibson Les Paul or some other well known brand of
one-size-fits-all guitar in that familiar shape. However, there are
guitarists out there who pick up something whacky and stick with it
throughout their career. When this happens the guitarist and the guitar
become one and you simply cannot think of one without the other.
1. The Dean "Emelle" and Dimebag Darrell
First
seen holding this far out guitar on the video "Cowboys from Hell".
Dimebag leaping around the stage with this crazy axe sparked a flood of
copyists and wannabe's. Not surprising when you consider his skill as a
master shredder and wildman looks. It was such a shame that Dimebag
had to be taken from us when he was so young. I would have liked to
have known what his style would have developed into had he been given
more time.
