Do you have any artist signature guitars in your collection?

None; but would it count if I signed my T-style build?

Dunno, are you an artist?

Strat54

None now.....but I've had Custom Shop...Albert Collins, Jerry Donahue, Danny Gatton Teles. Then CS Cray and Clapton Strats and a DGT. It was just a phase. None were that great.

A con artist.

I’m a sucker for signatures, even though I fully know they are just a cash grab. 

I think we all believe we’ll play like our hero’s if we get one….. definitely not the case for me, at least not until the Steven Seagal Strat comes out.

Cray Strat, just cos I like a hardtail Strat, pickups replaced with a Duncan Everything Axe set and the second tone is on the bridge….

This is my favourite guitar in my small collection  ..  Ibanez Stanly Jordan sig RG600TK ... not my actual but mine is identical

These are very rare, only ever seen 2. A friend brought it cheap from Telecoms (formally Nevada) in 1986 after  glass from a smash and grab damaged the finish. He gigged it for 10 years then sold it to another friend and I brought it off him for £200 in 2005 ish I think. 

I've put all kinds of pickups in it over the years and gigged it for a while with a white wrap on it. The body and neck are just alive with resonance and it's one of the easiest guitars ever to play with a killer low action.

I've got a MusicMan JP6 & a JP7 - both fully loaded

Graham Coxon Telecaster. It’s just a really, really, really nice Mexicaster with a spec which tickled my fancy (kind of a poor man’s Keith Richards Micawber-a-like, but with a rosewood board) and over the 12 years or so I’ve owned it has probably seen more use than all my other guitars put together…

Reverend Billy Corgan BC-1
PRS Silver Sky

ESP KH-2

Bit of a cheat but I put together a partscaster based on Gilmour's Red Strat, with his EMG pickups.

I had no idea Billy Corgan had joined the clergy!

EBMM Albert Lee (HH) in black - this one might be up for sale or trade
PRS SE DGT Goldtop

EDIT: The Albert Lee has gone and been replaced by Mark Lettieri's signature PRS, the Fiore

While not an artist signature model, technically it is an artist signature guitar, sporting the signature of the UK's own Blues Bird, Joanne Shaw Taylor.

My intention was to try to get as many artist signatures as I can on the guitar, but instead I just ended up with many restraining orders (JK).  Just never got round to it, and taking a guitar to a gig is fraught with difficulty.

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. 

Ive remembered a few more. TVL Jazzmaster, J Mascis Jazzmaster, Simon Neil Strat, The Edge Strat, BJA LP Jnr, Clapton Champ.

None but I would like a Christone Kingfish ingram tele.

Same church as Billy Gibbons, I believe.

Couldn't disagree more with this - the hero part anyway. I play like me always have always will and have no desire to play like anyone else. I may be missing out but I have no heroes.

And I play like me. We’re both innovators of the art.

Own a ESP George Lynch Kamikaze.

This one is from 1987 prior to it being an actual signature model. MIJ - No sig on the headstock - Stock ESP pickups (although I have swapped out neck single coil for a SD Quarter Pounder) Top mounted Floyd Rose. Had this guitar now 2 years next month.

I do have heroes, but I can't play like them and certainly wouldn't believe that buying their signature guitars would make me play like them.  The only sig guitars I've owned are a Robert Cray Strat (nice talented chap but I've no interest in his music), Jimmie Vaughan Strat (I have a couple of his albums but I'm not a big fan) and my Lee Roy Parnell CS-336 (I believe he's a blues/country guy but I've never heard any of his music).  I bought the guitars for the specs/features, not the artist association.
