If you could have any signature guitar what would you go for?

Bloody hell the price! ''Tis a thing of beauty though, one day maybe.

As an edit, I wonder why they never mention the Peter Green provenance of the signature series? I would have thought that would be a massive selling point.

Personally I'd be 100% for a Guthrie Govan Charvel. I like the general strattyness of the shape and headstock, it's a very versatile guitar, and also not too blingy. I won't ever buy one, but if I got offered it as a gift I'd bite the persons hand off.

 That's a guitar that I really like the look and concept of, but I'd worry that it would create a certain expectation if I gigged with it.  
I think I'm more in my comfort zone with standard looking guitars like Strats, Telecasters and Les Pauls. Having said that, it doesn't look too flashy and has a nicely understated appearance.

Hardly anyone knows what it is -

It would drive me mad, the Paisley pattern on the plate not matching the Paisley on the body

I gigged a Fender Kotzen Tele for 11 years. But based on my playing style now. Id love an American made PRS Chris Robertson but with a Floyd Rose on. That to me would be perfect.

The Slash Strat (on which he probably really recorded Appetite):

Is that a real thing?  It even has a picture of a LP on it

Yeah, but you'd be happily playing with your covers band, enjoying the party atmosphere, and then, out of the corner of your eye to see a guy at the back of the hall perfectly still, just watching. He is giving you 'the look'. All the music fades into the background and you are left with the sound of your brain screaming inside your head. He slowly raises his phone, takes one picture and steps back into the shadows.

The Suhr Pete Thorn although my guilty pleasure and an oddie for me is the Duesenberg Mike Campbell

Most dealers will even though Gibson only does in the briefest passing in their marketing. It was odd - but who knows when you've got egos at work on top of a chain of provenance...

The only signature model I've ever HAD to have is the Yamaha SA503 Troy Van Leeuwen. And I have one!

Id like a musicman steve morse Y2D hardtail, I also want a PRS Dave Navarro CU24 and a Billy Corgan Strat.

I think they only still make one of those though.

imalrightjack

Jake E Lee Charvel, I think. Played one and it blew me away. Felt gorgeous, sounded stunning.

This - because there's some features on this that you can't get on other tele deluxe's
(proper humbuckers, large headstock, wide radius rosewood board, jumbo frets)

I know.  It's kind of an infinite loop in irony type signature edition, I imagine.

I think I might go for one of these: http://www.waghornguitars.com/electric/ah6.php
