C'mon, Jimi cannot be compared to ANYONE else. What he did for the electric guitar and rock music history cannot be disputed!

Jimi played a SG Custom for some stuff. He would have ended up using his '50's Les Paul Custom Black Beauty a lot more too, had it not been stolen.
Imagine, just for a moment, if it didn't get stolen - he'd have probably made the Custom as desireable as the Standard... what do you reckon?
Jimi's favorite axe was his D-45. He wanted to play it at woodstock, but the hierarchy deemed it commercially unviable because of the "established" manic electric riffage previously displayed. Read---NOT Hendrix...m
