Guitars and Guitarists

A list of key vintage guitars from Fender and Gibson, together with their associated artists.

This list is a bit of fun and is not intended to be comprehensive. The odd error may also have crept in, so I wouldn’t rely on it as a piece of research material. Apologies too if I’ve missed anything or anyone crucial…
