Thats right. The stratocaster is simply more iconic, and more imitated and influential. It’s design is far more innovative. I remember when I first saw one at the music shop when I was about 8 years old. It looked so cool and futuristic, even though it was over 30 years old at the time.

Gibson had SSGs made at their Baldwin piano factory in China for music students and is a copy of a 1964 SG and I picked one up in a liquidation store for only $130.00 CAD. You can find them on eBay for about $200.00 USD. There are also the Epiphone copies which are considerably cheaper. Epiphone is owned by Gibson and I used to have an Epiphone E335 which cost me $800.00 CAD.

It's a good list. Whether or not you think the Strat or Les Paul is better, it depends on what sound you want. My personal favorites are the Les Paul with Humbuckers, Flying Vs, ES-335s, and super-Strats (with a humbucker in the bridge pickup position). Robin Trower went from Gibson in Procal Harum to a Strat on his own songs.

@guillermo3564 5 лет назад

Colton let's see if we can get you dialed in on what you were watching. This video is about the guitar models only, not the maker nor the guitarist. When the countdown got to the Flying V, they showed Jimi playing his because that's the guitar they were talking about. They weren't talking about Jimi Hendrix, or the Strat, or even Fender. They were talking about the Flying V. Did you even notice they showed Lonnie Mack, Albert King and Dave Davies playing their Flying V's? Did you think that when Hendrix popped up he would be on a Strat if they were talking about the Flying V? The beauty of RU-vid is that you can replay any section of a video if necessary. I highly recommend it.

@Tessmage_Tessera 5 лет назад

Because the maker of this video clearly has a bias toward Gibsons. Showing Hendrix on his iconic Strat would have been the proper thing to do, yes. It also would have reminded us that one of the best (if not THE best) guitarists of all time primarily played Strats. Jimi played a Gibson about 2 percent of the time and mainly in the studio... the rest of the time, he played Fenders.

Welcome to a click bait special! Popularity of a guitar does not make it one of the greatest guitars ever. The greatest guitars have come and gone and will be superseded by something else in years to come but the Gibson Les Paul '59 and the Fender Stratocaster '65 would probably be the best of the bunch. Both of these guitars have developed over the decades but those are iconic years for them. OK, modern pick ups, better quality machining techniques, select tone woods and 10 grade maple will produce great guitars but to the likes of Jimmy page, Slash, Dave Gilmour et al, the guitars of iconic years are the best.

I'm surprised the Jazzmaster isn't on this list.
