Ziggy Stardust

"Ziggy Stardust" is a song by David Bowie, the title track from the 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. The song introduces Ziggy Stardust, Bowie's iconic alien rock star persona, backed by the Spiders from Mars. For electric guitarists, it offers a compelling mix of rhythm and lead work rooted in early 1970s glam rock, making it a rewarding study in tone, riff construction, and era-defining style.

  • The lead guitar work on the album was performed by Mick Ronson, whose playing is central to the Ziggy Stardust sound.
  • Ziggy Stardust served as Bowie's live stage persona throughout his 1972–1973 concert tours across the UK, Japan, and North America.
  • The character of Ziggy Stardust was carried into Bowie's next album, Aladdin Sane (1973), extending the persona's musical legacy.

The definitive rock guitar. Its mahogany body, maple top and PAF-style humbuckers deliver warm, thick sustain with natural compression. From Slash to Jimmy Page, the Les Paul Standard is the backbone of hard rock tone.

The 'Black Beauty' - Gibson's premium Les Paul with bound neck, multi-ply binding and upgraded hardware. Its ebony fingerboard and heavier construction give it a darker, more refined tone compared to the Standard.

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
