An iconic musician deserves an iconic instrument; and it doesn’t get much better than Loretta Lynn and her custom guitar, with her throughout the last several decades (apologies for the gettyimages stamp):
We see it again, worn but none the worse, on the cover of her most recent album, 2004′s excellent Van Lear Rose:
She made the album with Jack White (of the White Stripes), one of the rare performers allowed to play the guitar himself, which he did in their video for “Miss Being Mrs.,” the penultimate track on Van Lear Rose.
