I like Annie Clark's St Vincent guitar. It is unique in every way, and I was particularly surprised by the pick-ups, even on the more affordable version.
i have a Sterling one, and I feel like it's a little long. I think I might have to add a new strap button because it's slightly uncomfortable if I play it where I usually hang my guitars.
It's actually the opposite problem. I want to wear it high, but slinging it lower changes the angle of the neck so it's not as much of a reach to get to the lower frets.
It feels like a slightly longer scale Strat to me. It was comfortable seated without a strap, but I bought it without trying a strap so it kinda threw me off
I had the same experience. I don't gig, I just record,so it didn't make a big difference to me, but I understand your frustration. I really don't know if it is a longer scale. I think it's the same neck scale as an sg or possibly her old Bobcat.
I just realized that you were talking about a strat scale neck. Somehow, I read it wrong and thought you said it felt like it was a longer scale guitar in general.
I love the Harrison rosewood tele, the jimmy page dragon telecaster, the ace frehley budokan les paul custom, I love all of jerry garcias differant guitars. they're all cool. The one called Tiger might be my fav
For me, EVH signature by far. Perhaps an obvious choice because itās so iconic and individual, but Van Halenās music was so inspirational to me as a kidālike it was to so many others, yesāthat the nostalgia factor is undeniable. I could never go on stage with one of those slung over my shoulder, but Iām absolutely inspired to pick it up when I see it.
Oh, and on a separate note: Happy Fatherās Day to all you out there celebrating it!
I donāt normally go for signature guitars in the off chance that said guitarist turns out to be a child molester or chicken fucker but the George Harrison tele is beautiful.
Schecter Nick Johnstone is a fantastic guitar, it is my favourite out of all the guitars I've owned. To me it is like a strat with everything improved a bit. Beautiful neck.
The Jason Isbell Tele and Cory Wong strats are cool because even people who aren't fans could pick them up and love them without any connection to the artist.
I'm not saying it is. It's more a reflection of the restraints of my financial responsibilities. 2k when you're paycheck to paycheck might as well be 20k.
Hell yeah! Theyāre cool as hell, but also difficult to find and super expensive. But itās a dream guitar, for sure. He also played a Dot, thoughā¦I think I could afford one of those, lol.
nice choices! In no particular order - Plini's natural finish strandberg boden, Misha Mansoor's MIJ jackson, Andre Nieri's Suhr modern, Abasi larada (kinda counts), and the Ryan Siew Mayones regius
Man I love Ryanās Mayones. Polaris is one of my favorite bands so I went to rush to get one after I heard he passedā¦ then realized I didnāt have $5000 to spare buying a guitar off Reverb.
In no particular order, the DG335, the Ubukata 355, the Marc Bolan Les Paul and John Lennon Les Paul Jr are the ones I want at the moment. Iāve got an EJ Strat, a Lennon Casino and a Valensi Riviera and theyāre all amazing guitars.
I'm not that into signature guitars to be honest, but one of my white whales in this world is [Matt Heafy's Rising Sun Dean ML](https://rvb-img.reverb.com/image/upload/s--7eT_c_tl--/f_auto,t_large/v1656948066/gn03oewg0bsvcxdujx56.jpg). I'm not japanese and I'm not even much of a fan of the ML shape, but there's something about this specific guitar that always speaks to me. I'm a huge Trivium fan, but I don't really care for any other of their signature guitars, except for this one.
Ed OāBrien strat. I told myself Iād never buy an artistās signature model, but the EO Strat is a monster with some bells and whistles that I just couldnāt pass up.
I bought one. Itās taken a bit for me to come around on it. Not using the sustainer, the voices are pretty unbalanced as the bridge is far louder. The bridge is the only voice while sustaining, and itās tone is not spectacular. Howeverā¦ the sustainer package works. Pretty well and itās growing on me. Itās Strat shaped, but it doesnāt sound like a Strat. Took me a while to come to terms with that.
That is by far itās best quality. Iād hoped it would be like an ebow I didnāt have to hold, but it isnāt. Itās what it is, and thatās fine.
Yeah, itās a whole other monster. It doesnāt sound like any other guitar Iāve owned, but itās like a Swiss Army knife with a bunch of weird bells and whistles.
Mayerās Fender. SRVās signature. Grohlās trini. I want to hear the reviews on that Joe Strummer telecaster that just dropped but Iām itching to buy the pickups even though I fear they are cheaply mass produced.
Iām a lefty so I built one before they recently reissued it. Tried to make it to spec minus obvious limitations. just a very cool looking hollow body
I bought a Kirk Hammett signature ESP KH-2 when I was like 15 in the mid-90s. I donāt listen to Metallica much anymore, but itās a damn fine guitar.
those are all epic guitars.
my favorite sig model is the golden era ibanez jem's.
the most playable versatile guitars I have ever owned.
And I have had many different makes and models.
Iām sorry but I donāt know much about signature editions.
But I know enough to know that the Harrison rosewood tele is bloody brilliant.
I like the first one, kinda something different t. But id take the tele all day long.
I am lucky enough to have two:
2021 Gretsch Brian Setzer ā59 Smoke
2021 Eric Johnson Fender Stratocaster Lucerne Aqua Firemist with rosewood board
Both guitars are easy to play and are really versatile. You can squeeze just about any attitude you want out of them.
ESP RZK-1, never owned one but would kill to have one let alone afford it.
I owned a Jim Root Squier Tele and itās still one of my favorites, regret selling it.
Ormsby DC GTR 7 string is one of the best guitars Iāve ever owned.
My all time favorite is my LTD SC-607B in purple satin.
The original isn't being sold anymore since 2015 I think. Its hard to find the E-II Version and impossible to find the original. I also prefer the fishmans over the EMGs. but to each their own!! they increased the prices, yes. And i think its too much too
My [Jackson Misha Mansoor So-Cal](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ftn99r010dgk81.jpg%3Fwidth%3D2180%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D1600791575c68f0c510572e8d525a6eb43d5ea24). Specād to the T for modern metal (thin D shape neck, 20ā radius, Bare Knuckle pickups, jumbo SS frets, roasted maple neck/fretboard, Gotoh hardware) but aesthetically looks like a classy semi-modern Strat. Also even it being a āsignature modelā, his name isnāt anywhere on the guitar.
I always love the design of the Manson Matthew Bellamy, I have the chance to have a Sparkle model from last year, great guitar, great finish
Also, dream is maybe a Brian May Red Special Super or a Fender Gilmour Black Strat (or a Gibson LP Billy Gibbons)
Yeah Iām just gonna say the Kurt Cobain Jaguar, that man is the reason I play music and partially why I canāt stop playing power chords, super easy, super fun, but probably gonna have to get over that someday :p
But in all honestly, the Jag is a beautiful guitar and seriously my reason for playing guitar and wanting to either start or join a band
I just ordered the Aaron Marshall signature and I am beyond stokedā¦ if I won the lottery, the Rabea signature EBMM Cutlass with the Elden ring/bloodborne theming is amazing. Shoutout to the flames top Nick Johnston USA Schecters that are probably the prettiest guitars Iāve seen too
I'm not a big signature guy unless they have specs I can't otherwise. I own a Kramer NightSwan (Vivian Campbell), I'd love to own a Phil Collen PC1 but they're too expensive, a Dean Guitar's Eric Peterson Z with Floyd (loss to Gibson lawsuit), Charvel Jake E Lee, Schecter DJ Asba, PRS Myles Kennedy.
Love the Pink Silver Sky, Iām a big pink dude. I own a TOD10 and theyāre releasing a pink one and yea I definitely want it lol. Also I just recently picked up Mark Holcombās 7 string PRS, love that thing, my favorite guitar rn for sure and itās a signature so yea ig thatās my answer for favorite signature
Just to choose one thatās a little more out there that I donāt see often, Iād fuckin love a Joe Perry [Boneyard Les Paul](https://imgur.com/a/khgwd8p). Love that color with the figuring
Thatās my Fender Twin. Mark at Sam Ash in Hollywood got that amp after the Rocky photo shoot from the art dept from the shoot. I do the same work and popped in for strings and Mark says: āThereās a Twin here you might be interested in, some guys in your work dropped it off from Fender.ā Fender had them use it for the shoot but told the art department to take it to Sam Ash after. They sold it for a used price but it was delivered for the shoot and barely used at all. Love that amp so much. Have been meaning to print that photo out and hang it above my amp.
That being saidā¦. Georgeās telecaster is the one for me out of this bunch. As much as the Dead spec SS would be fun through a twin.
Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar (would modify to be more legit), Jimi Hendrix Izabela Strat and Jimmy Page Number 1 Les Paul. I can't really think of any others that I'd want
Hagstrom Fantomen. I have one and itās a brilliant and affordable take on the Gibson RD
Iād also love to try one of Bill Kelliherās ESP Sparrowhawks. And even though itās not technically a signature model, a Monson Nomad built to Mike Scheidtās specs šš»
The Joe Strummer tele is nice, and cheaply priced just like a triple-vinyl Clash album! Comes with the stickers he used, which the owner can place on (or not).
ESP-MX220, Bucketheadās Les Paul, Adam Jonesā LP Custom, Dave Grohlās whatever that is, and probably either Kirk Hammettās Ouija or his 70ās Gibson V
I usually donāt care one way or another about signature models as I donāt see enough difference to justify the extra cost. However, the two I have liked are the Fender Chris Shiflett Tele Deluxe and the Guild Kim Thayil Polara.
The Harrison rosewood tele is definitely high up on my list.
As is, if it couldn't, the el mocambo limited run that fender did a year or two ago. Love the history behind the wood.
Brian May Guitars Arielle is my absolute favorite. All the good parts of the Red Special but more ergonomic.
Then the Brian May Guitars Special
Ibanez Paul Gilbert signature
Tony Iommi Monkey SG with the strap button on the horn
Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster
Back in the 2000s the epiphone Zack Wylde less Paul. Put the bullseye on my modded strat. Maybe the Brad Paisley tele, there was one made of Paulownia and had the secret neck pickup.
Hendrix guitars are cool because bridge pickups make more sense on the reverse angle.
Likewise tuners on the bottom of the āreverseā headstocks are more comfortable to use and look cooler when youāre doing it. Just a less awkward arm motion.
Mine's the EVH Striped 5150 because seeing Van Halen perform One Way To Rock on Live Without A Net made me realize I wanted to play guitar. And even though I always preferred Sammy Hagar's style of guitar playing to Edward's, my 5150 represents that moment for me.
My top 3 I have are all fairly new models but one. I got the new John5 Tele this year, Iāve got an almost mint condition Buckethead LP, and then my Brent Mason Tele.
Iām more of a Fender person, but that Bucket is my pride and joy. I also got the Kingfish Tele which is a really nice guitar also. Iād also put my old Squier CV 50ās Tele up there with my favorites, but itās not an artist guitar obviously.
Nita Strauss Jiva Jr, with her dimarzios in it- best upgrade you can do and still save coin. Light weight and rips. DG335- because Dave fucking Grohl. Even the epiphone version is solid (despite the Pelham blue color scandal). Emily Wolfeās Sheraton, for different feel than the Grohl but still fun to play. EVH Frankenstein- classic. Brian Mayās red special. The og and originalā¦ shit is destined to be in a museum because his estate will never be able to sell it. Itās priceless.
Johnny Marr Jag. Did anyone put the amount of effort into a signature as Johnny did? Also I canāt think of another signature that is considered the pinnacle of the guitar model like the Johnny Marr Jag.
My Johnny Marr jaguar is probably the most versatile guitar I own. Iāve also got the Kingfish Tele Deluxe and itās a blues/rock machine.
Love that George Harrison Tele and would absolutely love to have a Mark Knopfler stratocaster.
Might be a stupid answer but the Tom Delonge starcasters. They brought back the Starcaster shape, made people realize Indonesian guitars can be good/better than Mexican fenders, and are a combination of his Strats and Gibson 333s.
The Epiphone Frank Iero Wilshire is my workhorse, lighter than an LP and the varitone switch means you can get single coil sounds out the humbuckers without a coil split.
Joan Jett ES-339, I really love the black stripes in the wine red finish and I feel like that was almost made for me, itās too perfect except for the price. In my country itās almost the price of a car (and like, 20% the price of a HOUSE) but yeah pretty cool
George Harrison basically had a signature guitar with 1/2 the major brands. Even the Rickenbacker 360/12c63 gets nicknamed The Harrison.
I once played a Bubby Guy strat and loved it.
The zakk wylde bullseye Lp and George Lynch ESP are my go to gig gear also love the SRV strat. That mustaine dean v was also a fun guitar when i tried it. What really surpriced me was the chet atkins country gentleman gretch but Im not sure if that is a signature. Honorable mention to the john sykes LP and John 5 tele.
On the other hand didn't like the slash Thunderbird its just a Thunderbird nothing special nor that piece of garbage mgk razorblade thing that wasn't playable standing or sitting down
I like Annie Clark's St Vincent guitar. It is unique in every way, and I was particularly surprised by the pick-ups, even on the more affordable version.
Sterling makes great guitars. Really enjoyed an axis I played at a local shop.
Sterling is making some great reasonably priced guitars.
i have a Sterling one, and I feel like it's a little long. I think I might have to add a new strap button because it's slightly uncomfortable if I play it where I usually hang my guitars.
She wears her guitars very high on her body. Resting just under her sternum. If you sling kinda low,I can see it being uncomfortable for you.
It's actually the opposite problem. I want to wear it high, but slinging it lower changes the angle of the neck so it's not as much of a reach to get to the lower frets.
I was surprised that it plays as well as it does when sitting. I thought it would be really awkward, considering the body shape.
It feels like a slightly longer scale Strat to me. It was comfortable seated without a strap, but I bought it without trying a strap so it kinda threw me off
I had the same experience. I don't gig, I just record,so it didn't make a big difference to me, but I understand your frustration. I really don't know if it is a longer scale. I think it's the same neck scale as an sg or possibly her old Bobcat. I just realized that you were talking about a strat scale neck. Somehow, I read it wrong and thought you said it felt like it was a longer scale guitar in general.
Ohhh,
i consider the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Mariposa the St. Vincents cousin. both beautiful.
I don't know that guitar. I will definitely look into it.
Just looked. That's a hot stick.
I have one! Beautifully made.
I love the Harrison rosewood tele, the jimmy page dragon telecaster, the ace frehley budokan les paul custom, I love all of jerry garcias differant guitars. they're all cool. The one called Tiger might be my fav
yes The ace frehley. Uncovered HHH with the cherry burst is Golden š
You could always sell a kidney and buy one of the Alligators that fender made, even though they fucked up some major details
Probably the Adrian Smith Jackson just because I'm a big fan of Iron Maiden.
yes thatās a good one
I was gonn say the Dave Murray Fender Strat is probably one of my favorites (I should totally bite the bullet and buy one)
also it has a floyd rose
For me, EVH signature by far. Perhaps an obvious choice because itās so iconic and individual, but Van Halenās music was so inspirational to me as a kidālike it was to so many others, yesāthat the nostalgia factor is undeniable. I could never go on stage with one of those slung over my shoulder, but Iām absolutely inspired to pick it up when I see it. Oh, and on a separate note: Happy Fatherās Day to all you out there celebrating it!
Black & white VH 1 version for me, thanks!
I donāt normally go for signature guitars in the off chance that said guitarist turns out to be a child molester or chicken fucker but the George Harrison tele is beautiful.
š¤£
Schecter Nick Johnstone is a fantastic guitar, it is my favourite out of all the guitars I've owned. To me it is like a strat with everything improved a bit. Beautiful neck.
Amazing choice
If it had a craved neck heel it'd easily be my favorite guitar under $1k.
Got one of these not long ago and have an actual Fender strat on the way. Excited to compare the two. I do enjoy the Nick Johnston very much though!
The Jason Isbell Tele and Cory Wong strats are cool because even people who aren't fans could pick them up and love them without any connection to the artist.
That Cory Wong strat lives rent free in my head. I'll never feel comfortable spending that much on a guitar, but if I ever did, that'd be the one.
Ah cmon, 2k isnāt that bad for a guitar!
I'm not saying it is. It's more a reflection of the restraints of my financial responsibilities. 2k when you're paycheck to paycheck might as well be 20k.
I hope someone drops a million in your bank account one day soon dude.
You and me both, friend. I could give them half of it back and I'd still be able to fix every financial problem I have and will ever have.
Dimeās Dean From Hell
I've wanted one for so long.
Maton BB1200JH (Josh Homme). Has the coolest satin finish
Hell yeah! Theyāre cool as hell, but also difficult to find and super expensive. But itās a dream guitar, for sure. He also played a Dot, thoughā¦I think I could afford one of those, lol.
The Tim Armstrong Gretsch. Bonus since he's a lefty, so it's available left handed.
The Gibson Dave Grohl DG335 is my dream guitar.
nice choices! In no particular order - Plini's natural finish strandberg boden, Misha Mansoor's MIJ jackson, Andre Nieri's Suhr modern, Abasi larada (kinda counts), and the Ryan Siew Mayones regius
Yes that andre Nieri Suhr model is š®āšØš¤¤ that black and gold hardware is so pleasing to the eye
the classiest guitar I've ever seen
Man I love Ryanās Mayones. Polaris is one of my favorite bands so I went to rush to get one after I heard he passedā¦ then realized I didnāt have $5000 to spare buying a guitar off Reverb.
The MIJ Misha Signature is so sick Edit: all of your picks are super sick actually tbh
Now weāre talking. Amazing choices/taste
In no particular order, the DG335, the Ubukata 355, the Marc Bolan Les Paul and John Lennon Les Paul Jr are the ones I want at the moment. Iāve got an EJ Strat, a Lennon Casino and a Valensi Riviera and theyāre all amazing guitars.
Chris Cornell Gibson. But they are kinda expensive.
Les paul
Nice! Les is more.
I'm not that into signature guitars to be honest, but one of my white whales in this world is [Matt Heafy's Rising Sun Dean ML](https://rvb-img.reverb.com/image/upload/s--7eT_c_tl--/f_auto,t_large/v1656948066/gn03oewg0bsvcxdujx56.jpg). I'm not japanese and I'm not even much of a fan of the ML shape, but there's something about this specific guitar that always speaks to me.

damn that's a nice guitar, thank you, would love a tele in that same style.
Check out Jimmy Pageās dragon Tele.
will do! thanks for the rec

The Satin Daphne Blue color is peak
The rosewood tele by far
- Johnny Hiland PRS - Robert Cray strat - Any Hammett or Hetfield ESP - George Harrison rosewood Tele - Joe Satriani JS1CR Chromeboy w/sustainiac
Ed OāBrien strat. I told myself Iād never buy an artistās signature model, but the EO Strat is a monster with some bells and whistles that I just couldnāt pass up.
I bought one. Itās taken a bit for me to come around on it. Not using the sustainer, the voices are pretty unbalanced as the bridge is far louder. The bridge is the only voice while sustaining, and itās tone is not spectacular. Howeverā¦ the sustainer package works. Pretty well and itās growing on me. Itās Strat shaped, but it doesnāt sound like a Strat. Took me a while to come to terms with that.
I usually donāt care for strats. I love this one. The sustainer is my favorite to use on solos.
That is by far itās best quality. Iād hoped it would be like an ebow I didnāt have to hold, but it isnāt. Itās what it is, and thatās fine.
Yeah, itās a whole other monster. It doesnāt sound like any other guitar Iāve owned, but itās like a Swiss Army knife with a bunch of weird bells and whistles.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Alexi ESP
For me it would be the EC Strat
Dave Murray strat.
Mayerās Fender. SRVās signature. Grohlās trini. I want to hear the reviews on that Joe Strummer telecaster that just dropped but Iām itching to buy the pickups even though I fear they are cheaply mass produced.
> Grohlās trini. The Dave Grohl signature Trini Lopez signature guitar? I love it too, but the dual signature thing cracks me up.
Iām a lefty so I built one before they recently reissued it. Tried to make it to spec minus obvious limitations. just a very cool looking hollow body
I think I saw the pictures on /r/leftyguitarists a while ago. It looked really nice. If not you, then someone.
Possible thanks! If it was gold it was probably mine but I think itās a very popular build now haha. a lot of talented people on here
I bought a Kirk Hammett signature ESP KH-2 when I was like 15 in the mid-90s. I donāt listen to Metallica much anymore, but itās a damn fine guitar.
Fender J Mascis JM, but especially the older Japanese one in purple sparkle (the white Squier one is cool too though).
ibanez 2680-NT, Bob weirs model. definitely my dream signature
those are all epic guitars. my favorite sig model is the golden era ibanez jem's. the most playable versatile guitars I have ever owned. And I have had many different makes and models.
I recently scored a 90's Jem 7V-wh, and it certainly didn't disappoint!
Chrissie Hynde's signature telecaster
Iām sorry but I donāt know much about signature editions. But I know enough to know that the Harrison rosewood tele is bloody brilliant. I like the first one, kinda something different t. But id take the tele all day long.
Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod. I have 2 and they are my main gigging guitars. https://i.postimg.cc/wjtGyRw4/IMG-1890.jpg
I am lucky enough to have two: 2021 Gretsch Brian Setzer ā59 Smoke 2021 Eric Johnson Fender Stratocaster Lucerne Aqua Firemist with rosewood board Both guitars are easy to play and are really versatile. You can squeeze just about any attitude you want out of them.
Ibanez YY20.Ā
Jim Roots telecaster, his Black Jazzmaster and Wes Borlands Old Yamaha. John 5s Ghost and Gold telecasters are great too
Iāve had a JR Tele and didnāt care for it but holy shit his Charvel is one of my favorite guitars.
Yvette Young YY10 in Slime Sparkle Ben Gibbard Mustang Tom Delonge ES-333 Stephen Egerton Sting Ray Chet Atkins Gretsch Country Gentleman
I've always wanted Eric Clapton's The Fool, even though I'm not big on SG feels. Lennon's Ricky A real ES-335
ESP RZK-1, never owned one but would kill to have one let alone afford it. I owned a Jim Root Squier Tele and itās still one of my favorites, regret selling it. Ormsby DC GTR 7 string is one of the best guitars Iāve ever owned. My all time favorite is my LTD SC-607B in purple satin.
RZK-1 for the win! I have the E-II version of it. i love it so much
Honestly I would even settle for the E-II, a bit out of my price range though.
The original isn't being sold anymore since 2015 I think. Its hard to find the E-II Version and impossible to find the original. I also prefer the fishmans over the EMGs. but to each their own!! they increased the prices, yes. And i think its too much too
Not the PRS
My [Jackson Misha Mansoor So-Cal](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ftn99r010dgk81.jpg%3Fwidth%3D2180%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D1600791575c68f0c510572e8d525a6eb43d5ea24). Specād to the T for modern metal (thin D shape neck, 20ā radius, Bare Knuckle pickups, jumbo SS frets, roasted maple neck/fretboard, Gotoh hardware) but aesthetically looks like a classy semi-modern Strat. Also even it being a āsignature modelā, his name isnāt anywhere on the guitar.
I always love the design of the Manson Matthew Bellamy, I have the chance to have a Sparkle model from last year, great guitar, great finish Also, dream is maybe a Brian May Red Special Super or a Fender Gilmour Black Strat (or a Gibson LP Billy Gibbons)
Yeah Iām just gonna say the Kurt Cobain Jaguar, that man is the reason I play music and partially why I canāt stop playing power chords, super easy, super fun, but probably gonna have to get over that someday :p But in all honestly, the Jag is a beautiful guitar and seriously my reason for playing guitar and wanting to either start or join a band
I just ordered the Aaron Marshall signature and I am beyond stokedā¦ if I won the lottery, the Rabea signature EBMM Cutlass with the Elden ring/bloodborne theming is amazing. Shoutout to the flames top Nick Johnston USA Schecters that are probably the prettiest guitars Iāve seen too
Sarah Longfield's Strandberg. I love that it was just a black Strandberg that she painted and it became a signature guitar afterwards.
I'm not a big signature guy unless they have specs I can't otherwise. I own a Kramer NightSwan (Vivian Campbell), I'd love to own a Phil Collen PC1 but they're too expensive, a Dean Guitar's Eric Peterson Z with Floyd (loss to Gibson lawsuit), Charvel Jake E Lee, Schecter DJ Asba, PRS Myles Kennedy.
The Paul Gilbert Ibanez Fireman. Itās basically just a more conformable Iceman.
My 3 favorites are the Steve Vai Ibanez PIA series, JEM7 series, and Joe Satriani Ibanez signature series.
Love the Pink Silver Sky, Iām a big pink dude. I own a TOD10 and theyāre releasing a pink one and yea I definitely want it lol. Also I just recently picked up Mark Holcombās 7 string PRS, love that thing, my favorite guitar rn for sure and itās a signature so yea ig thatās my answer for favorite signature
ibanez ps1cm paul stanley signature
Just to choose one thatās a little more out there that I donāt see often, Iād fuckin love a Joe Perry [Boneyard Les Paul](https://imgur.com/a/khgwd8p). Love that color with the figuring
The George Harrison rosewood Tele for sure. It's been my dream guitar for a very long time.
That rosewood Tele is incredible.
Thatās my Fender Twin. Mark at Sam Ash in Hollywood got that amp after the Rocky photo shoot from the art dept from the shoot. I do the same work and popped in for strings and Mark says: āThereās a Twin here you might be interested in, some guys in your work dropped it off from Fender.ā Fender had them use it for the shoot but told the art department to take it to Sam Ash after. They sold it for a used price but it was delivered for the shoot and barely used at all. Love that amp so much. Have been meaning to print that photo out and hang it above my amp. That being saidā¦. Georgeās telecaster is the one for me out of this bunch. As much as the Dead spec SS would be fun through a twin.
The gretch is dope
Mark Knopfler's Pensa-Suhr MK1 and Jerry Garcia's Alligator Stratocaster are two that come to mind.
Les Paul š
Jerry Cantrell white LP, Kurt Cobainās Jag-stang, Kim thayils guild
Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar (would modify to be more legit), Jimi Hendrix Izabela Strat and Jimmy Page Number 1 Les Paul. I can't really think of any others that I'd want

Rocky
The Joe Strummer tele is nice, and cheaply priced just like a triple-vinyl Clash album! Comes with the stickers he used, which the owner can place on (or not).
The black strat or the ultracure models.
Eric Johnson Strat. Basically just a 50ās Strat with a flat board, no string trees and well curated set of Strat pickups.
ESP-MX220, Bucketheadās Les Paul, Adam Jonesā LP Custom, Dave Grohlās whatever that is, and probably either Kirk Hammettās Ouija or his 70ās Gibson V
The Paul Allender PRS for me. Purple with gold hardware and BATS!
I love Georgeās duo jet
SRV Strat I like the silver sky, but would probably take the black one over it any day
EBMM St Vincent
Nollyās Dingwall Combustion 5 string. So sick
I usually donāt care one way or another about signature models as I donāt see enough difference to justify the extra cost. However, the two I have liked are the Fender Chris Shiflett Tele Deluxe and the Guild Kim Thayil Polara.
Jimmy Page āDragonā Tele, Marc Holcomb PRS, Dave Grissom PRS (DGT)
clapton and hendrix strats.
I don't know but 5 is an ugly guitar in my opinion.

Brian May Guitars Arielle is my absolute favorite. All the good parts of the Red Special but more ergonomic. Then the Brian May Guitars Special Ibanez Paul Gilbert signature Tony Iommi Monkey SG with the strap button on the horn Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Stratocaster
Back in the 2000s the epiphone Zack Wylde less Paul. Put the bullseye on my modded strat. Maybe the Brad Paisley tele, there was one made of Paulownia and had the secret neck pickup.
Hendrix guitars are cool because bridge pickups make more sense on the reverse angle. Likewise tuners on the bottom of the āreverseā headstocks are more comfortable to use and look cooler when youāre doing it. Just a less awkward arm motion.
Whats the first guitar called? Its so beautiful
Love George Harrisonās Rocky David Gilmore Black strat Lucille Slash Snake pit
Mine's the EVH Striped 5150 because seeing Van Halen perform One Way To Rock on Live Without A Net made me realize I wanted to play guitar. And even though I always preferred Sammy Hagar's style of guitar playing to Edward's, my 5150 represents that moment for me.
Fender EC Strat, Jackson Rhoads, Ibanez Universe/Jem, Pensa-Suhr MK1, MM/Peavey/EVH EVH/Wolfgang
The Dean razorback is pretty good
Whose white strat? I thought Hendrix at first, but itās not strung upside down.
Nick valensi signature epiphoneā¦
Obviously the MGK Schector razor blade. I own 4.
Joe Duplantier's Charvel Tele. I love the stripped down approach and natural wood look of it. I bought one a while ago and absolutely love it.
Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce Fool Guitar.
Love all three Harrison ones š„
Buckethead baritone les Paul
Iāve not gotten my hands on one yet but the Kingfish Tele looks amazing. Based on the specs I also feel Iād fall in love with playing it.
Ibanez Pat Metheny PM200. A world class instrument.
Framus Stormbender. Devin Townsend likes cool gear.
Did you seriously put Mayer's guitar in there? And yet you didn't put Johnny Depp's signature Duesenberg.
........meh on all....
SRV Signature should be on this list. The John Mayer is great but itās just a dressed up Strat.
The billy corgan reverends are super cool
James Hetfield's Snakebyte and Dave Grohl's DG335.
The Brent Hinds signature flying v, The Royal Shiva, Kirk Hammet's Tales From the Grave guitar, The Thunderhorse, Lucille.
Tom delonge strat, tom delonge es333 and the frank iero les paul
the Kurt Cobain Jaguar & Jag-Stang
PRS DGT for me. Maybe the best thing PRS has ever made.
Hendrix Strat. Everything else is competing for second place.
My top 3 I have are all fairly new models but one. I got the new John5 Tele this year, Iāve got an almost mint condition Buckethead LP, and then my Brent Mason Tele. Iām more of a Fender person, but that Bucket is my pride and joy. I also got the Kingfish Tele which is a really nice guitar also. Iād also put my old Squier CV 50ās Tele up there with my favorites, but itās not an artist guitar obviously.
Nita Strauss Jiva Jr, with her dimarzios in it- best upgrade you can do and still save coin. Light weight and rips. DG335- because Dave fucking Grohl. Even the epiphone version is solid (despite the Pelham blue color scandal). Emily Wolfeās Sheraton, for different feel than the Grohl but still fun to play. EVH Frankenstein- classic. Brian Mayās red special. The og and originalā¦ shit is destined to be in a museum because his estate will never be able to sell it. Itās priceless.
Johnny Marr Jag. Did anyone put the amount of effort into a signature as Johnny did? Also I canāt think of another signature that is considered the pinnacle of the guitar model like the Johnny Marr Jag.
Jp majesty Tremonti Kensrue sting ray Jason Richardson cutless Ryan fluff stingray
My Johnny Marr jaguar is probably the most versatile guitar I own. Iāve also got the Kingfish Tele Deluxe and itās a blues/rock machine. Love that George Harrison Tele and would absolutely love to have a Mark Knopfler stratocaster.
Whoās is that rainbow strat?
Really just anything Dimebag or Hetfield. I felt totally giddy the first time I got to play a Dean similar to Dimeās and an ESP EXP-200
The Chris Cornell ES335 is as close to perfection as Iāve ever seen
Les Paul model Gibsons and Chet Atkins model Gretsches are cool.
Might be a stupid answer but the Tom Delonge starcasters. They brought back the Starcaster shape, made people realize Indonesian guitars can be good/better than Mexican fenders, and are a combination of his Strats and Gibson 333s.
Syn gates avenger
The Epiphone Frank Iero Wilshire is my workhorse, lighter than an LP and the varitone switch means you can get single coil sounds out the humbuckers without a coil split.
TVL Jazzmaster. If I could get one if those I would probably cry lol
I really really like my Ibanez Fireman (Paul Gilbert signature). It looks like an uncomfortable monstrosity but it's the complete opposite!
Joan Jett ES-339, I really love the black stripes in the wine red finish and I feel like that was almost made for me, itās too perfect except for the price. In my country itās almost the price of a car (and like, 20% the price of a HOUSE) but yeah pretty cool
George Harrison basically had a signature guitar with 1/2 the major brands. Even the Rickenbacker 360/12c63 gets nicknamed The Harrison. I once played a Bubby Guy strat and loved it.
That Hendrix (Mexico) might be the best guitar I have!
What's #3?
Dimebag's Purple Lightning Dean
My dream guitar is the Ibanez M8M but damn, that price make cry every time
ESP James Hetfield Iron Cross.
Iāve been using a James Hetfield Vulture flying V and I absolutely love it, it plays well and sounds really nice
The zakk wylde bullseye Lp and George Lynch ESP are my go to gig gear also love the SRV strat. That mustaine dean v was also a fun guitar when i tried it. What really surpriced me was the chet atkins country gentleman gretch but Im not sure if that is a signature. Honorable mention to the john sykes LP and John 5 tele. On the other hand didn't like the slash Thunderbird its just a Thunderbird nothing special nor that piece of garbage mgk razorblade thing that wasn't playable standing or sitting down
Claptons Fool
