Great question. A black Gibson flying V.
I know you can easily imagine it. It’s also useful for destroying domes.

He could probably get away with playing this one. While playing one of the necks of this guitar, he would just use the force to play the others ones simultaneously, if needed.

Would you believe that the Internet has already asked and answered this question?

I think he would play any guitar which was cleverly modded into looking more like the Death Star. This one could be a great starting point. Plus, just like Vader himself, it’s batshitinsane. Actually Vader was a pretty level headed guy. Most of the time.

I see Darth Vader as more of a bass player. I don’t see him rocking out and power sliding all over the stage, but I can see him cooly laying down a funky groove on bass.

Just what I was thinking, @TenaciousDenny.

Yeah, Vader’d play bass. He’d play this one. Now this one? He wouldn’t play it, but, yes, he’d steal Paul McCartney’s and keep it because he’s a bastard like that.

I think a Steinberger Demon would go well with the black techno look ..

Maybe a Daisy Rock on the weekend.

We already know what bass he plays. Look here!

Yes, that may occasionally be my background.

Darth Vader plays the tambourine; He’s more the singer type. he got the mad pipes

I already linked to that pic…

90s_kid's avatar

Definitely a Flying V.
It’d be funny if he sang a ballad with an acoustic, though. Like, Vh1 unplugged or storytelleers Haha!

Waffle's avatar

@Eambos Oh, my bad :) Didn’t even notice.
