It's one thing for a musician to stand on stage and play their instrument, but it's another for them to totally own it, and play an instrument so well that it becomes unique to them - and just as much of an icon.
With plenty to chose from - albeit, it's generally only a few that crop up in the general music of today - here are some of the ones that help put their respective owner on the musical map.
From the flash and brash to the inconspicuously brilliant, we bring you everything from a noble guitar to a flamboyant mic stand.
