Do you have any artist signature guitars in your collection?

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.

Haych- if ever you do sell it, do inbox me.

My Dingwall 5-string bass is technically a Nolly Getgood signature but most people just call it an NG - specifically it’s an NG2 5.

Lestratcaster

The Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day Les Paul Junior. Don't play it much though.

Current: Music Man Majesty various and a JP15

Have had: JEM and Universe

Artist signature is not a purchase decision though - they are simply better than anything else for what I require (be that from the rest of the Music Man range or any other manufacturers).

JerkMoans

A much-modified Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster...

This. I don't like Teles, and gold hardware,  but I love the Kotzen Tele.

Richie's name had zero to do with my buying it.

I have a Vintage brand Peter Green Distressed ‘Lemon Drop’ guitar if that counts? Not an official collaboration though.

This year, I have mostly been playing my Fender Jim Adkins:

bermudianbrit

Fender Eric Johnson strat, widely acknowledged to be one of the better Fenders before you get into CS world. 
I'm not a strat guy but that thing rips.

StefB

Knaggs Steve Stevens SSC
MusicMan Luke III
Ibanez JS-1200
Jackson Rob Caggiano Shadowcaster
Gibson Les Paul Junior Special

I didn't realise I had so many and none were bought particularly because of artist association, they are all just bloody great guitars.

I have a Reverend Reeves Gabrels despite not knowing any of his stuff, a J. Mascis Squier Jazzmaster that I bought by accident and a J. Mascis sparkly blue Fender Telecaster, which I used to adore when I was a teenager and had to have as a 40-something when it was commercially released. 

I thought I wanted a Jim Root Charvel but tried two and didn't get on with them and I'm pretty sure I want a Johnny Marr Jaguar in every colour.

I get to show my one and only picture again (actually I used to have one of my brown Mira as well, but I think that's disappeared off the internet).

Gibson Lee Roy Parnell CS-336.

Currently I have a Brad Paisley signature Esquire and a Silver Sky SE.

Previously I’ve owned EBMM Luke, EBMM Albert Lee, EBMM Axis (technically not, but we all know it is), PRS Bernie Marsden, PRS Zach Myers, Squier Simon Neil strat and a couple of Les Pauls.

Never realised until now how many I’d owned. Most were bought because they were quite simply bloody good guitars rather than because of the signature connection. Although I will admit to being a big fan of Paisley, Lee, Marsden & Luke.

By my reckoning I’ve had 3 …. A Joe Bonamassa 335, a Gibson Lucille and a US Malmsteen Strat. I still have and love the Strat but the others are gone. I don’t play anything like the pouting Swedish loon, but I do love his playing and I love the specs on this strat, namely the scalloped neck, massive frets, pickups, machine screw neck attachment and nitro finish on the neck. And the looks obvs.

I added the hot rails in the bridge but will be going back to the original soon. 

Edit: actually I’ve had 5 because I’ve had a couple of Reverend Gristlemasters too (Greg Koch sigs). They moved on too, but mainly because I need the cash at the time and knew I’d be able to buy ones exactly the same in the future if I wanted.

More than intended...and none bought for fan-boi reasons:
Bensusan, Lage, Marr, Grissom, Bonamassa, Govan, Les Paul(?), Vai

Sounds like a line-up for the 'big jam' at a guitar convention where they all end up soloing over 'Rockin' in the Free World'.

Gizmo

Only one (and i think the only one i've ever purchased)

Boromedic

PRS Silver Sky and a Suhr Pete Thorn, both excellent guitars and about perfect for the brief of the artists.

I have had lots of Hamer Steve Stevens 1 Models - which are bloody wonderful things.

I kept one which is in the super cool in its Jon O'Connor Marble - its on the far right in this group shot:



And this Jeff Watson Model, which was never on the price lists and special order only. There were a few dozen ever made, and only two with Floyd Roses, of which mine is one. It has an above average top for a Hamer of this era (89-93), which normally had mega tops as standard.

I love this guitar and play it all the time
