Without a doubt, solidbody electric guitars are responsible for some of the most iconic sounds of the past century. Take Jimmy Page’s Gold Top Les Paul and Jimi Hendrix’s Monterey Strat. These two axes alone have inspired generations of tone chasers, although the same could be said for Kirk Hammett’s “Zorlac” ESP and Chrissie Hynde’s icy-blue Telecaster.
Point being, whether you’re a beginner shopping for your first electric or a seasoned player chasing the sounds of your heroes, a solidbody electric guitar can be one of the most versatile tools in your arsenal.
