Which guitar rocks hardest?

[Powdered Toast Man]

I think it's fair to say that the guitar that rocks hardest is the one made of rocks.

Seems like it would only be appropriate for stoner music. : D

Seriously though, those are really cool looking guitars:

My SG responds the best to rock style playing, so I'll say SG.

 

[Frater106]

Maybe flying V or SG.

I always think of a Les Paul as a jazz or blues guitar.

Ever listen to Zeppelin? Lol.

 

[GuitarDoc]

Ever listen to Zeppelin? Lol.

Who's that?

Or Leslie West.

Zep was mostly telecaster in the studio . . .

If someone gave me a Tele, I wouldn't immediately smash it into kindling.

The amp is far more important than the guitar as long as it's not a full hollow body. I'd take vintage single coils into a 5150 over an RG into a Princeton.

And Keith Richards. And Jimmy Page. And Bruce Springsteen. And John5. And Mike Campbell. And Graham Coxton. And Joe Strummer.

What is this? The 1950's? Most of those guys don't "rock hard" at all.

Gotta go BC Rich, for the ultimate hardest....
But any LP has that heaviness too, so only a BC Rich is gonna beat it.

Personally, that is the fugliest body shape bar none. And yes, I'm including the Moderne.
The only redeeming qualities are cloud inlays on the left one (because my LPc) and the snakeskin on the right. Oh, and tiny switches and knobs.

To me, the Les Paul just screams rock and roll, although I'm willing to listen to the discussion. After all, that's why I posted the thread.

It was a silly, yet simple question. And as usual, with something silly and simple (and intended as light and fun) people get serious and complicated.

You know, when I think about it, it's not about the guitar. Or the amp. Or even the cabs and pedals. The cables maybe? No, where was I going with this? Oh right.
TO ME, the guitar that rocks out the most is the one in the hands of a long haired pentatonic superstar substance abuser from the 70s-80s, no matter if it's a balalaika plugged into an router or bagpipes plugged into an iron lung.
IT'S ALL ABOUT RRRCK'N'RRRL YEAAH BAY-BEE!!

There. F your guitars and amps and everything.
:baby:

I'm a dad, and I want to rock. . . . and I do find myself drawn to Les Pauls.

I mean, this has been talked about before that Gibson has an image problem with being sort of the "old man's guitar". The last real big guitar hero can think of that's really known for playing an LP is Slash - and he's really in the older Gen X territory. And it's been an issue with Gibson's marketing for the last decade as well with Gibson mainly focusing on the Gen X and Boomer crowds.

I think Fender does a much better job of getting their instruments in the hands of younger artists for endorsements. Gibson has had a few swings and misses in this area. The biggest being the Jonas Brothers models.

But aren't they the ones with money? Doesn't seem like an unreasonable business move.

No contest..."V" shaped guitars rock the hardest :headbang:

The tone at around 4:40 is kickass!
Oh, and "Old man with a V." sounds like a really kinky reality show from the near future.

First like!
