A signature or guitar you wish that brand would reissue

Rocky1991

Does anyone else have an experience when they have seen a guitar from the past and wished Fender, Gibson whomever would reissue it. Not particularly because who played but just the guitar itself?

I don't know why but I wish Fender would make a copy of Mike Bloomfield's Telecaster (in its recent state). Now he is a great musician, but certainly not an idol. I just think the guitar looks so cool, even more to highlight the cutout was done post his ownership.

Gibson ES335S did them in Early 80s. Rarely see them now. 

Dirty Fingers Pickups and Solid Mahogany. 

SteveRobinson

A John Otway signature Gordon Smith double neck

MikeB

Ibanez AT300 - variation on Andy Timmons main guitar. 

TTBZ

LTD Bill Kelliher Eclipse BK600 but maybe do a proper silverburst rather than the aged/green one. It's the perfect modern spec Les Paul for me!

CHRISB50

Always fancied a Billy Corgan Strat.

The H R Giger Ibanez Iceman. I'd love to get hold of one.

Cols

Not one which has ever actually been officially issued... but Clapton’s The Fool SG.  I assume there would be an awful lot of difficulty with ownership of the artwork.

CMW335

Noel Gallagher's 1960 ES-355

One from not so long ago, but a none Custom Shop Dave Grohl DG335, or even better an Epiphone version. Basically a version I don't have to take out a second mortgage to afford.

I don't know why but I wish Fender would make a copy of Mark Bloomfield's Telecaster....

Mike Bloomfield surely?

I'm genuinely surprised that Fender have never done a Richard Thompson 1959 Strat - the one with the squinty middle pickup from 'Across a Crowded Room'.

The Yamaha Wes Borland. Very hard to come by now.

Those look awesome. They're not the same size as a regular 335 though, right? That would weigh a ton, surely?

Neil Young's Old Black
Gilmour's EMG StraT

Not a guitar, strictly... but the original Fender Bass V - although tuned B-G like a modern five.

Such a cool-looking bass. The only famous user I know of is John Paul Jones.

If they did a Mexican Classic series one in LPB with a pearl guard I might be forced to buy it.

Jay Yuenger from White Zombie. His green Ibanez iceman with stars on it was pretty rad.

I'm waiting on the Gibson BJ-200 Signature

Gibson ES-357. 

Three pickups & no f-holes.

Good spot amended

I'd like the Gibson les paul vixen reissued.

Thinner body, maple cap, nice colours and affordable.

The Gibson Luther Dickinson ES-335 with P90s and a Bigsby was an interesting, if short lived, signature model that was a useful variation on the standard 335. Would like to see that back, even though I could never afford one.

Also the anniversary Epiphone Casino from a few years back with the royal tan-esque finish and USA P90s. Still kicking myself for not getting one of those.
