Rock

Rock music typically has a crunchy bite in the tone that can be found in a guitar with humbuckers. Guitars that thrive with this sound are the Gibson Les Paul and the Gibson SG. Many players such as Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, Ace Frehley, Gary Moore and Les Paul himself have used a Les Paul. The notable players to have used a Gibson SG are Angus Young, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton and Frank Zappa.

Blues

Blues music calls for a fuller warmer sound but still has some bite when you dig in. Think of players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, John Mayer, Albert King and of course Jimi Hendrix. So for this genre I would go with a Fender Stratocaster or something like a PRS Hollowbody II Piezo.

Jazz

Jazz often has very clean and warm tones that can be achieved by a hollowbody guitar such as a Gibson ES-335 or a Gretsch G5420T. Some notable Jazz guitarists are Django Reinhardt, Allan Holdsworth, Wes Montgomery, Charlie Christian and Barney Kessel.

Metal

Metal is the most extreme and out there genre that calls for high gain and flashy instruments with lots of tech. Commonly used models in this genre are the Jackson King V or a superstrat like the Ibanez RG550. Some guitarists in the genre are Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoades, Dave Mustaine, Dimebag Darrell, Marty Friedman, Kirk Hammett, John Petrucci, James Hetfield, Zakk Wylde, Chuck Schuldiner and Mark Morton.

Country

Country music is more layed back and can be descriped as a twangy tone so for this you could use a Fender Telecaster or an acoustic guitar like the Gibson J-45. Some country guitarists are Keith Urban, Chet Atkins, Brent Mason, Vince Gill and Clarence White.

Pop

Pop music can be anything so you really can't go wrong with what you use. You could go with anything from a ESP MYSTIQUE CTM to a Fender American Acoustasonic. Some pop music guitar players are Prince, Post Malone, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars.
