Watch John 5 Play Jimi Hendrix's SG Custom, Paul Stanley's Ibanez Iceman and Jason Becker's Peavey "Numbers" Guitar

Hard Rock recently teamed up with former Marilyn Manson and current Rob Zombie axeman John 5 for a fascinating, deep dive into guitar history.

Luckily for us, the Hard Rock crew was on hand to film the whole thing. You can watch the clearly awestruck John 5 play them all above.

For the record, John 5 is also using a Valvetrain 416 head and 1x12 cabinet, an Analogman Beano Boost and an Origin Effects Cali76 compressor in the video.
