- Among the greats who create music for guitar is Eric Clapton and his guitar "Blackie" , which was purchased along with five others, three of which were given to George Harrison , Steve Winwood and Pete Townshend .

- The Spanish guitar is also among the most sought-after models created by Antonio de Torres , considered the father of the classical guitar, which have fetched large sums at auctions by those who wanted to include it in their collection.

- Well known to guitar lovers is the SG, used by George Harrison and John Lennon for the recording of / The White Album /, which was purchased in 2004.
