When it comes to rock stars, the gear doesn't make the man; Jimi Hendrix would still manage to sound like Jimi Hendrix even if he was playing a $100 bargain bin guitar (or, in Jack White's case, an Airline). Nonetheless, musicians protect their signature instruments with the same ferocity as a first-time parent (if they're not setting them on fire)—partly because, many times, the guitar is as famous as the person playing it. Who can imagine Eddie Van Halen without his red and black striped Strat, or Dimebag Darrell without his Dean? Here are our picks for the 15 most iconic axes.—Lucy Mueller, Special to Metromix
