Do you have any artist signature guitars in your collection?

Always interesting to see what people have.

Les Paul (though the 61 SG variant, before renamed SG), Tal Farlow and a Byrdland

Alexlotl

No, but I’d love a Robert Cray Strat, which is probably the only sig I’d be interested in. 

Gassage

Yes….the favoured weapon of the mighty Lerxst….




AKA Gibson Custom Shop Alex Lifeson Axcess Les Paul.

Nope - they're all my signatures these days :-)

Currently a Roxy pink silver sky and a Noel G Riviera, but I’ve had loads. About 5 slash’s, Bonamassas x3, tweedy SG, and probably loads more I can’t recall.

Les Paul technically counts...

Aria Pro II Michael Schenker V

Epiphone Popa Chubby V

Still looking for a John 5 Tele Deluxe (3 pick ups) and an ESP Kamikaze IV that doesn´t cost more than a used car.

Edit, totally forgot about my Ibanez Paul Gilbert.

Bigsby

Reverend Reeves Gabrels Spacehawk:

Not really a fan of Reeves Gabrels, but it combines many things I like into one guitar, and it is unusual amongst 'signature' guitars in being a unique design, albeit based on the Sensei shape. It's roughly 335 sized, semi-hollow, but with a strat-like body carve - which I've not seen on any prior large semi-hollow guitar, but adds enormously to the comfort. Other plusses for me: Six-a-side headstock, ebony board, dot inlays, rail hammer pickups, phase switching/kill switch, bass contour, Bigsby (in the right location - not too close to the bridge), 60s styling references and purple burst finish... Gotta give Gabrels credit where it's due.

Fender Ben Gibbard Mustang - beautiful lightweight ash tone machine, definitely optimised for live playing which I don't really do, but it's fun to cop Death Cab riffs on it

Fidelity J. Wilgoose Esq. (Public Service Broadcasting) Double Standard, I have the first version with a Mastery - they went to a Descendant in 2021 for reasons, I guess. But I doubt there are many of these out there! 

Gibson Collector's Choice Tom Scholz Les Paul - though I see this as less of a signature model and more of an era replica, since he doesn't play anything that remotely looks like it anymore and hasn't in decades.

Moved on my Emily Wolfe Sheraton, but now have a Brad Paisley Telecaster.

I have a bitsa bass, consisting of a Squier Chris Aiken P neck on a modified Jazz body from the Signature company, sporting EMG-GZR pickups. The ergonomics of the Reggie Hamilton model crossed with the looks of the Geddy Lee. Just needs an alchemical decal.

I’ve got a PRS Brent Mason signature, acquired from the classifieds. It was the one that got away for nearly a decade after trying one in Tone World (RIP) in Ancoats back when they first came out and hesitating over buying it. Really glad to finally have one - it just feels right. 

Bowks

I have lots!

Music Man Luke 3
Music Man EVH
Music Man Steve Morse
Music Man Majesty
Ibanez JS2450 Satriani
Ibanez PGM301

The majority of them are not a standard model with a name slapped on, certainly the case with the Musin man guitars as they are designed from the ground up with the artist.

Another Lerxst signature of a different kind here, the gold hardware hasn't aged well unfortunately.

I do wonder whether I should sell it or not, it doesn't get much use these days, but I always regret that move so will hang on to it unless somebody offers me daft money.

Do these count? I have a few now...

I've got two ESP LTD Michael Amott signatures - I'm a massive Arch Enemy fan and it's a unique shape. I genuinely think it's the coolest looking flying V derivative there has ever been, which makes their short production run all the more disappointing.



As an aside, I've always fantasised about ordering a custom one from ESP one day, but I've spoken to another fan who tried that and they wouldn't do it, as Michael took the shape with him when he left for Dean... except Dean made it uglier, because Dean.

Assuming we're not really counting all Les Pauls, I have got a Slash signature. Not necessarily for the Slash connection - he literally just plays Les Pauls with different pickups, so I don't really see the point from a specs standpoint - but as soon as I saw the Anaconda Burst finish I fell for it. So I just see it as a Les Paul in a colour I really like; I've taken the Slash pickups out because I find they just sound like Slash all the time (surprise surprise).



Previously I owned a PRS SE Bernie Marsden, which I bought for the Bernie connection and to have something as a backup to my main Les Paul. In the end I realised I was always disappointed it didn't feel or quite sound like a Les Paul so it went in favour of more Les Pauls.



I also had an ESP LTD Stephen Carpenter sig, the SC607B, but that was purely on specs. It was a baritone 7 that popped up when I was first experimenting with 7s. Bloody brilliant-feeling guitar, but the middle pickup instead of a neck was annoying so I traded it for a PRS 7 -string. I haven't liked any Deftones I've heard, though. (not my pic, pinched from web search)

1Strat2many

Several Les Pauls, 2 Specials and a Deluxe, 2 Musicman Albert Lee models, an SSS and an HH, an 88 Clapton Strat, a Japanese Hank Marvin Strat, a 65 Chet Atkins Tennesean and a 70s Ovation Glen Campbell acoustic.

A couple, and have had others in the past.

Currently a Kotzen Tele and an EBMM Axis (not strictly a sig, but..).

I owned an ibanez JS1000 (Satch) and Pat Pending Black Peavey Wolfgang in the 90s.
