A signature or guitar you wish that brand would reissue

EricTheWeary · April 2021

I'll see if I can do a screen grab later but the chap from Black Country New Road uses something that looks like a Bloomfield Tele but in the wrong finish. I wondered if there had been some kind of reissue.

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.

Didn't Vintage do a Fool?

I don't think Fender have ever done a Fast Eddie, I always thought they were cool. He had a couple of different ones but basically a 70s HSS strat( modded from SSS) with a brass scratchplate,etc. Eddie's guitar tech who did the mods on the original one has done a couple of bitsas over the years but nothing commercially available.

Yep. Now yours for a cool £900 and change.

There's a company called the Painted Player that makes replicas of the Fool guitar as well as other distinctive instruments

there we go the BCNR chap and instrument. It surprises me that a young British person would have much idea who Bloomfield was and stylistically it’s very different playing.

Gibson buckethead.

27” scale, with a bigger body.

Mental thing, rare and super expensive when they come up.

Vince Gill's white/blonde telecaster. At the same 5lbs 13oz the original is.

DrBob · April 2021

The Samick Blues Saraceno sigs, the Radio 10 and TV 20 models. My old one came with a fantastic fat neck

So they did! I wonder why Gibson never did one; it can’t be a competition clause for his Fender stuff, he’s had a couple of Les Paul signatures and a Firebird.

Charvel model 3.. most excellent necks and a great pup config..

I would love one of these.

Kelly Hayes (Cold) signature ESP.

Subtle it’s definitely not, but I love that band and I’ve already got the spider tattooed on my arm so I would look badass!

Rusty Anderson 335. One came up on hear a while back and I wish I'd bought it :-(

Gibson ES335S did them in Early 80s. Rarely see them now.
Dirty Fingers Pickups and Solid Mahogany.

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

No, but a bit bigger than an SG so balances better.

I'd like the Gibson les paul vixen reissued.

Thinner body, maple cap, nice colours and affordable.

Also the Classic Lite looked cool too. As did the limited run LP Special Pro EX - flat topped special with humbuckers. Quite like the idea of this, I'm too used to flat topped SG and strats now, the top of a LP (plus the TOM bridge) feels like it sticks out miles. The current tribute specials would probably be cool if the finish wasn't so rough. If they were cheaper they'd be fun as a refinish/project guitar.

The Original Ibanez Roadstars. Plenty of Pro’s used them in the 1980’s. The RS1000 was a PRS CE24, before PRS had even gone into production. Sort the weird trem systems out and they’d be brilliant.
