1970s Guitar Gear

1970s Guitar Gear is highly desirable by guitarists today. The 1970s saw guitarists experiment further with the sound of classic rock music popularised in the previous decade, driving guitar into a whole new era with new sounds and styles. The 70s saw an emergence of groundbreaking players, including Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa, Carlos Santana, Rory Gallagher, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Pete Townshend, and many more. Genres such as hard rock, punk, new wave, heavy metal, and progressive rock became popular around the world, which began a new era for guitarists. 

The gear that these guitarists used are just as iconic as the players themselves, Marshall Amplification amps, Fender Stratocasters, Gibson Les Pauls for that singing sustain, and plenty of stomp boxes, from Big Muffs to the MXR Dyna Comp. Brands such as Rickenbacker, Yamaha, and Gretsch continued to be popular choices in the 1970s. Many new brands such as Ibanez and Charvel started emerging on the market and overseas production in countries such as Japan with the Fujigen Gakki premises crafting high-quality copies of the most popular USA-made guitars.
