Stratocaster - Fender came up with the Stratocaster guitar about 50 yrs ago. There are many companies that produce this style of guitar today. Typically the Stratocaster guitar has a bolt on neck, 6 on one side tuners, strat style body with two cutaways, 3 single coil pickups, and a tremelo. But there are many variations of the Stratocaster today. Some have Humbucker pickups, while others have a humbucker and single coils. The nice part about the strat guitar is that they can be modified fairly easily with different pickups and hardware. An interesting fact about the strat is that David Gilmour of Pink Floyd owns the first strat ever made Serial Numbered 001.
- Telecaster - Fender invented the 1st telecaster style guitars, and they have been around since before the Stratocaster. They typically have two pickups, a smaller headstock than the strat, and a 3 way pickup selector. Most have a string through body, but not all. The unique sound you usually get from a telecaster is when you use the middle position on the pickup selector. This activates both pickups and give that unique telecaster sound. Many famous guitarists have played the Telecaster including Bruce Springstein, Prince, and many more.
- Les Paul Style Guitar- Les Paul style guitars were invented by Les Paul of course, hence the name. Les Paul has been quite an innovator in the music field and has even invented some of the first track style recording devices to record music. The Les Paul guitar consists of a set neck (glued in), 3 on one side tuners, usually two humbucking pickups, and a single cut away body w/ a 3 way pickup selector switch. Some Les Paul's have carved top bodies, binding around the body, and trapazoid inlays. It just depends on the model of the guitar. Famous Les Paul players include Slash, Jimmy Page, and Joe Perry.
- Flying V - The Flying V guitar became popular in the 1980's with guitarists like Rhandy Rhodes (Ozzy Osbourne's Guitarist on his 1st solo album). The Flying V name comes from the body shape which is a Large V shaped body. These guitars are typically for eye appeal, because they are not easy or comfortable to play.
- SG - The SG (Solid Guitar) is another product coming from the Gibson guitar family. They are best known for their pointy guitar horn body type. Usually they have two humbucking pickups and a set neck (Glued). They are typically thinner than their Les Paul counterparts. Made famous by Angus Young of AC/DC and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
