Do you have any artist signature guitars in your collection?

I'd feel like I looked like a Fanboy with many of the Signature models on sale: standard designs with a tweak and the artist name way too prominently painted on

Generally I'd only go for one if I thought it offered something really different.
Hence PM120, played as Metheny's main guitar for decades
and the EOB strat. I've had 2-3 guitars with sustainers, pickups and electronics always not  right. I felt confident that fender and EOB would not screw it up. Mostly right: the mid and bridge pickups are too weedy. I moved the bridge (which is actually a SD middle pickup) to the middle, and put a hot rails on the bridge. Also the pickups respond differently to the tone control, which is annoying. I don't mind the ultra thick neck.

I also bought a PRS SE SS, which I have not grown to love yet tbh

I did get signature DG20 pickup sets which are amazing 

I would have bought a Vai Jem if I liked Floyd Roses and those HSH metal pickups, I tried a Prestige Japanese model with vintage trem, but hated the pickups anyway. Also the neck was so thin my hand hurt from playing it

I saw a Joe Pass Ibanez in Sounds Great for £700 I think. Should have bought it but I had loads of semis at the time

NICE. I have one of them, courtesy of Vibetronic, and a couple of other Jems, plus one of Steve Vai’s amps. Jems are ace. Carvin Legacies are ace.

Have you got any pics of your Jems? Would love to see them.

3 Les Pauls, just sold a Lincoln Brewster Strat and Frankie relic, still have an early DGT.

I have a PRS Tremonti SE in a rather fetching green quilt veneer. I’m not a big Mark Tremonti fan boy, I just fancied a single cut with a trem! I had a pair of Oil City Blue Streak pickups in my parts drawer, bought in one of Ash’s clear out sales. The SE 245 pickups were a bit meh (though not bad) so I swapped them out and the guitar is a beast now!

I've got a snappily named Duesenberg Alliance Starplayer TV Mike Campbell 40th Anniversary Signature model.  Not particularly a Mike Campbell/Tom Petty fan but I was after a Starplayer TV and the MC40 has a finish I like.

At some point when I've money to waste I might buy a plain replacement scratch plate without the signature and switch them over.

1992 Ibanez Reb Beach Voyager:

Currently only own a Silver Sky SE and a Bernie Marsden Singlecut.

I have owned a:
Brad Paisley Esquire,
4 Bernie Marsden Singlecuts, I still have one. 
Two different EVH super strats striped and Circles.
A Fender Rory Gallagher custom shop Strat and a Gibson Les Paul Boneyard Joe Perry (I should have kept both as they are like hen’s teeth now)
A core Santana PRS.
Also owned a PRS Singlecut made for Martin Barre.

And an SG previously owned by Gary Moore 
but those don’t really count but I thought I’d just mention them.

I’ve got two currently - Joe Strummer Tele and the Emily Wolfe Epiphone. I’m considering saving for the Jason Isbell Telecaster

I currently have…

2022 Martin Rich Robinson D28 - liked the guitar, not really a big fan of the Black Crowes

2014 Gibson Trini Lopez - liked the guitar, not that aware of his music and not really a big fan of The Foo Fighters either. 

2022 Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher signature model - massive fan boy, bought on that basis only but turned out to be a fantastic guitar. I managed to get one of the first run from Peach when they were first released. 

I’ve also had a couple of JM jags, a Inoran Jazzmaster and multiple Les Pauls (are we counting them as a signature still?) over the years. 

Roundwound

Martin Clapton acoustic. Probably my inherently “best” guitar and the last I’d sell (I don’t think Les Pauls realistically count here).

Behold, my 15c Vihuela , its a Kieth Richards signature model, from around 1480.



And here is Kieth Richards putting it through its paces.

So far I have...

Ibanez LB1 Lari Basillio
Gibson 335 Warren Haynes
EVH Wolfgang Special
EVH Frankenstein
PRS SE Mike Mushok

Honourable mention... Gibson R9 Les Paul Texas Burst Ltd. So, a slightly confused combination of a sig Les Paul based on Billy Gibbons 'Pearly Gates' guitar.
