Fun idea for a list, rattling off the most iconic axes of all time. Synergistic timing, too, since today we're giving away a purty Les Paul Studio. At only 28 deep, chances are Blender's list missed your favorite guitarist's piece, but don't worry it's not like the National are at #1 or anything.

Head to Blender.com for some guitar detail and YouTube of each axe in action. What are they missing? Well since you asked, we're miffed there's no Slash + Les Paul listing. We'd even settle for a Slash + Guitar Hero controller mention, really. Have they not seen this? Or this?
And we're assuming they haven't seen this creepfest.
