Peter Frampton sold millions of records with the help of a customized Gibson guitar. Three decades ago, that guitar was destroyed in a plane crash ... or so he thought. That guitar — a shiny black number with an added pickup — became Frampton's signature instrument. He continued to use it with Humble Pie, and in his solo material, played it almost exclusively for years. It even made the cover of his classic 1976 live album, Frampton Comes Alive!

John Entwistle’s “Explorer-Bird” Not only did The Who’s groundbreaking bassist redefine the role of the bass guitar in rock, he was also a trendsetter in what gear bassists used. “The Ox” used this custom made bass, which features a maple Fender P-Bass neck grafted on to a Gibson-style Explorer body, in the late ‘70s, most notably in the video for “Who Are You.” Following his death it was bought at auction for £12,000 in 2003 by Widespread Panic bassist Dave Schools.
