Keef ain't on there, neither.
In fact, the Telecaster was extremely neglected on that list.

Also, I am really fucking tired of Hendrix topping these polls.
Dude didnt do anything super groundbreaking, if you ask me.
More love for Jimmy Page as Most Influential Guitar Player.
It's not like he invented the solo style that's still used today, or anything.
Rant over.

And I would never know his guitar if he wasn't holding it. So how can they call it the most recognizable??

Yeah, most of those were extremely ordinary guitars.
Fucking Elvis was on there, with a plain-ass regular looking acoustic.
Also, this "factoid" was funny.
Factoid: Presley was known for strumming his guitar brutally hard during live shows. To combat this, his road crew brought multiple sets of strings to all gigs.
Wow, no shit? People bring extra strings? :rolleyes

Wait wait wait.
First off, Angus Young should be much higher.
And secondly, where is Jerry Garcia and Wolf and Tiger and Rosebud??

Agreed. Blender is like the US magazine of the music world.
