Guitar World's 2015 Readers' Poll: Pick the Best Shredder, Best Blues Guitarist and More
Well, gang, it’s time once again to take Guitar World magazine's annual readers' poll.
Should David Gilmour take the Hall of Fame crown—or is the late B.B. King more deserving?

The results will appear in an early 2016 issue of Guitar World magazine. Thanks for a great year!
