The body shapes remind me a bit of Minarik. And that's not a good thing.
Just checked and she did write 1 song called ‘This Love’

it feature heavily in their performances.
If I had a kid I’d much rather they asked me for a Taylor Swift Taylor or an Ed Sheeran Martin than being sat glued to a games console or iPad like most kids seem to be.
Is nothing sacred anymore! I feel like a kid who's just learnt that father Christmas isn't real.
In fairness to him, he does use his own signature guitars, both live and on record, which is more than I can say for a fair few people.
Taylor Swift - 4 songs of 11
Fearless - 7 songs of 13
Speak Now - every single song (14)
Red - 8 of 16
1989 - 1
Reputation - 0
But (and now showing a more than a hint of Swift-nerdism) it's worth noting that some of her original demos/phone memos were bonus tracks on 1989, clearly showing the creative process. Also, she's mates with Martin Sheeran and Antonov, so it makes sense that she'd include them in her own writing process.
It's also completely normal for modern pop music. And it's not like Johnny Marr ever wrote anything interesting without Morrissey, or Page without Plant, Jagger without Richards, etc.
I'm not saying there's a problem with them having sigs, just that it's way more of a shameless cash-in than normal sig guitars.
Those singers having a sig is not really any different to them being in a Pepsi advert or paid to wear Nike; kids will just want it for the name alone, whereas with normal signature guitars, the idea is that a buyer knows about that artist's guitar and specifically wants a similar one.
I'm not saying pop stars aren't good enough to have a sig, just that it's a very different strategy to "guitarists" having one.
One is like my mate giving me a push up over a wall and me pulling him up from the top; the other is like getting a building contractor company in to build a staircase while I stood by with a hard hat on giving a yes or no to various suggestions they made during the planning.
I've got/had a few signatures over the years. I'm on my third ESP LTD Ninja (Michael Amott) as I love both the guitarist and the shape of the guitar, which is unique. Take the shape away and it could be anything.
I had an LTD Steph Carpenter 7 string for a bit - don't like Deftones but it was before the 7-string boom and there weren't many baritone 7s around.
I've got a nice PRS Bernie but that is purely down to sentimentality - I grew up down the road from Bernie and used to bump into him all the time, so he was probably one of my first guitar heroes as a kid because he was "real" - ie, I could listen to his CD then bump into him at the pub. Thankfully it's a wonderful guitar!
I also have a real craving for the Custom Shop Slash Anaconda burst, which is stupid because it's just for the colour. If they ever produce that colour accurately on a production Les Paul I'll snap it up. And yes I know that's a stupid reason to buy a guitar but I don't really care!
