Iconic Guitar Combinations

It’s said ‘a poor musician blames his instrument’ but what about good musicians? Do they claim their accomplishments are solely the result of their own efforts? Not really. Most of them thank co-writers, band mates, friends and family.

As a result, man and machine become inseparable, and over time, the general public has trouble separating where the guitar ends and the guitarist begins. Submitted for your approval is a list of several iconic guitar(ist) combinations.
