Top 10 Electric Guitars

Are you ready to pick your electric guitar? Here are 10 choices of what we believe to be ten of the top electric guitars available:

1. Gibson Les Paul Guitar

This is one of the best solid-bodied electric guitars of all time. Gibson, one of the leading guitar makers, decided to take Les Paul, a renowned jazz guitarist, to be one of their consultants. The result was an expensive-looking hollow-body electric guitar with improved basic elements, such as glued-in neck and a body shape that’s perfectly curved. The choice of black was known to be Les Paul’s choice, to give it a classic look.

2. Gibson ES-335 Guitar

The Gibson ES-335 is the first semi-hollow body guitar that is sold in the market. Produced by Gibson, this electric guitar has an amazing switch control. It’s two tone, two volume, and three way. Its exterior is made of levant hardshell painted with smooth black, while its interior case is charcoal plush. It has ’57 Classic humbuckers for its pickup.

3. Danelectro DC3 Guitar

It’s one of the all-time favorites among retro rockers, because of the sound it produces as well as the look of the electric guitar. They’re also ideal for those who are in tight budget for electric guitars, as Danelectro DC3 is priced on midrange. It’s also very easy to set up, convenient for those who have a number of continuous gigs in one night. Moreover, they are known to be durable. In fact, you can enjoy playing it for as long as 40 years.

4. Rickenbacker 381 V69 Guitar

Rickenbacker has been known to be making the best types of guitars these days, and the Rickenbacker 381 V69 is one of them. It has an old-school look, complete with glossy fingerboard, which makes the guitar very convenient to play. It also possesses a luscious finish. When it comes to sound, you can play sultry blues and shift to your well-loved rock song. It doesn’t get tired easily. You can even play it for 24 hours, and it will still sound so great.

5. Gibson SG Guitar

During 1961, one of Gibson’s electric guitar, the standard Les Paul, received minor changes. Its body had become thinner and horns were more emphasized. Most of all, it attained a new name, thus, the Gibson SG. Besides the body, the pickguard was smaller while the hardware, which is nickel plated, is reminiscent of its first 1961 model.

6. Gretsch White Falcon Guitar

At first, it wasn’t meant to be a functional guitar but more of a trade guitar, something Gretsch can show off. However, because of its beauty and its sound, the Gretsch White Falcon immediately found its way into the hearts of rockers. For one, it looks so different from other electric guitars, with its gold trim and white paint. It is also quite big, with size spanning 17 inches.

7. Suhr Classic Guitar

Suhr Classic sports a chrome finish for its hardware. It also features a steel block tremolo and an arm that’s actually a push-in type. This means this guitar is a friction fit. It also fits perfectly with your tremolo plate, so you can definitely feel the electric guitar’s response to your every pick.

8. Fender Stratocaster Guitar

The Fender Stratocaster is one of the long-standing electric guitars of all time. It’s more referred to as Strat or Stratocaster, after many electric guitar makers tried to create their own “Strat” guitar. Its back is beveled so it can accommodate the arms and chest of the player. There are also two cutaways in the guitar so it will be easier for the player to reach the higher frets. The synchronized tremolo and custom contour body made the guitar much more endearing to rock enthusiasts.

9. Stardust Elite Venus Guitar

This is a very beautiful double-cutaway electric guitar, especially for girls. It looks fancy and totally fitting for the punk rock princess, but the truth is it’s actually priced in midrange. Moreover, it features humbuckers that are totally superb when you’re in for some bad-ass rock-and-roll music.

10. Luna Andromeda Guitar

Luna is considered to be a true-blue rock girl’s electric guitar. It is famous for its locking tremolo and a small neck, which is only ideal for those with smaller hands.
