Good list Jon, but it's Matthias Jabs' Explorer; Klaus Meine's the singer.

For me, it's:

1.Uli Roth's Sky guitar as Bill mentioned; current one is 7 strings and 36 frets I believe.
2.Michael Angelo's 4-neck guitar.
3.Michael Schenker's black/white V.
4.EVH's Frankenstrat.
5.Jimmy Page's cherry sunburst Les Paul.

As much as I'm a fan of Zeppelin, I'd rather have Page's wine red LP with the B-Bender in it than the "violin bow" LP he's always seen with [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

This thread made me lose all respect for you guys.

Here's my list:
1. Jimmy Page's Doubleneck (the original one as seen in "The Song Remains The Same")
2. SRV's '64 Strat
3. Ace Frehley's "Smoker"
4. EC's "Brownie"
5. EVH's "Frankenstrat"

(I know most of thes had already been listed, but I haven't seen them grouped together in one reply.

Hellloooooo Jon ...How's da bambino.. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Yes the Dweez owns that chared piece of sacredness...

This is nobody's axe but I remebered EVH said that he saw some asian dude buy and '58 Korina V for 50K...and that was some time ago.

My heroes guitars I guess it would be..

EVH...frankenfucker and that dragon one he has..oh and that butchered Destroyer on WACF
Uli....Sky
RR...first Jackson prototype
YJM....original yellow strat
Jimi....a piece of Monterey
Tony Iommi ...that white SG he played in all those old funky videos and recorded Paranoid with..just because.
Nigel Tufnel ...that fender with the lil' tagger still on it..
Brian May ...fireplace mantel homemade guitar
Page ...his double neck I guess or his cherry Paul

I guess these made an impression on me..

The burned Strat Zappa had was burned by Jimi at the Miami Pop Festival. The Monterey guitar was smashed to the point it was unusable ever again. I have seen pics of that body and there is no neckpocket left!
