Solid Body Electric Guitars

Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (1973)

Avg price: $2,342.50

Jimi: My main guitar for so many years! 'Goldie', originally a Deluxe, is highly recognisable to anyone who has seen me play at just about any stage of my life — I have used her in virtually every band I have ever played in. She has standard wiring; however that's a real 1959 PAF in the neck!

Her sound and playability are still the yardstick for any other solid body guitar I look at. This was the main guitar used on the infamous No Turning Back album in 1989, and again on my 2010 album Electric Mojo Machine.

1996 Grubisa Telecaster

Jimi: While recording the World Gone Crazy album with the Jets, we really wanted a Telecaster. Fender sent some over but they were all 'hot rodded'. Grubisa put together this vintage replica for me from swamp ash, and rewound some old pickups, even the correct cloth wire was used internally.

The result was spectacular, a completely authentic sounding Tele. It's the first thing you hear on that album ... my Scotty Moore impersonation on 'Elvis'. I then went on to use this guitar for my first blues album Blue Guitar, the Tele through a Boss SD-1 into a little 'Goldentone' amp. I still have people ask me about the guitar sound on that record.
