What is Stephen King's favourite electric guitar of all time?

[The Nameless]

That's Steve vai isn't it? Wasn't he taught by frank zappa, or was that Joe satriani?I reremember hearing one of them was taught by zappa, and he taught the other one, or is that just internet bs folklore?

In his upper-barnyard loft.

In the top-twenty albums of all-time must be 'Live Cream.'

I think Clapton usually uses a Strat nowadays, but in the day he was a Gibson man.

Yeah, Clapton is a Gibson or a Fender user. John McLaughlin used different guitars also.

I love Les Pauls, and technically the SG is a Les Paul, but my experience has been that the SG has balls the LP doesn't. I don't mean to say a LP can't get nasty, they can, but their real shining moments are clean tone and slight overdrive sounds. SGs can do things from super clean tone jazz to the heaviest of heavy metals and everything in between. Plus the neck is thinner and faster and the guitar overall is much lighter and more well balanced. Let me add I've owned a couple of LPs, recorded an album with one and played about 200 gigs with one, so I do have experience with them.

Also, though I am at my roots a blues man, I have no use for stratocasters. Just don't like them or the way they feel or play. But people love them, so just my personal preference.
