Hendrix Voted Greatest Guitarist

Tue Aug 6, 1:59 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Rock icon Jimi Hendrix has been voted the greatest

guitarist of all time in a poll by a leading European guitar magazine Tuesday.

The legendary American rocker, famed for his searing performances on his trademark Fender Stratocaster, blew away the competition in the survey published in Total Guitar magazine's 100th issue Tuesday.

Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page trailed Hendrix in second place, while Eric "Slowhand" Clapton earned a third place spot.

More than 400 guitarists were nominated in the survey of nearly 800 readers and celebrities who were asked to list their five favorite choices by post or e-mail. The magazine published the top 100 selections.
