Does anyone actually read the original posts around here?
The question is not coolest guitar but coolest ARTIST SIGNATURE guitar.
The top contenders, in my estimate, are:
Shawn Lane // Vigier Shawn Lane Master signature
Adrian Belew // Parker Fly Adrian Belew signature model (piezo, MIDI, sustainer)
Paul Gilbert // Ibanez PGM301
Rick Derringer // Warrior Rick Derringer signature Isabella
Reb Beach // John Suhr
Allan Holdsworth // Carvin H2 and HF2 signature models
Guthrie Govan // John Suhr Guthrie Govan signature
Yngwie Malmsteen // Fender Y. Malnsteen signature strat
FYI, Les Pauls don't even come close to any of the above in the "COOLEST" category. Ha!
