- Baxter and Jonathan dive into crazy signature models from Fender And Gibson and who should get one? Do you think Slash needs another 5 more signature Les Paul signature models? Let us know who you think needs ones.
The thing about Slash model guitars that always makes me smile is that Appetite For Destruction was not recorded with a Gibson Les Paul but a replica. (As all of us already know the story). Slash is a great player but I still think that fact is funny.
High price tag for Gibson making a replica of a replica.
Certainly one of the best ironies of this market.
@@silverfr3ak
To me it is even more ironic that so many artists have signature models of a guitar that is already Les Paul’s signature model.
I’ve been waiting for over 30 years for a Strat player to tell Fender that they want their signature Strat to be an Eric Clapton signature model.
Yep, as an added funny aspect. The Seymour Duncan pickups in his original, Derrig Les Paul quit working last week or so and he had them replaced with his signature Seymour Duncan pickups, not with the Gibson Slashbuckers..
To be honest that replica guitar Slash got is actually closer to a real Gibson Les Paul then the ones made today.
@@Frosenborg That’s probably because he has a contract with SD and has to use them. That’s why they can’t call them Slashbuckers anymore. What’s really funny is Derrig said those were just some pickups he had laying around.
Frusciante’s said no a number of times. Every time they asked him for a sig series, he said he only plays old guitars, so selling a sig to “sound like him” felt insincere in a way.
We hear that…(but still want one)…:)!
So would his signature guitar have a secret stash spot to store your Heroin...? --- I'm guessing that may be a factor into why nobody has associated their name with his.....
@@csnide6702 I don't see why that would be. There have been plenty of musicians with worse (and far more ongoing) issues than he's had that have no trouble getting endorsements.
i think he should do something like McCreery and do a custom shop run
screw you john and your wonderful integrity !!!
The Johnny Marr Jaguar is cool because it’s a different type of Jaguar- he worked with them to design the wiring so it does things different from a standard jag, which makes it unique and “his” guitar (not just something with his name on it)
*pets my orange one*
Agreed, I have the Ed O'Brien strat and it's quite unique when compared to other strats.
Johnny Marr Jags are unique and awesome.
One of the best sigs ever. I love my Sherwood Green one.
@@maggieo mmm Sherwood green
If you think about it, every Les Paul ever made is a Signature guitar. It's like when Gretsch approached Horton Heat to make his signature guitar. His response was "my guitar is a Chet Atkins Country Gentleman. It's already a signature." Props to the marketing man who successfully argued against that logic.
I like signature guitars when they’re actually their design- EVH, Bo Diddley, Jem, Red Special- but I really don’t see the point of a Paul or a Strat painted a certain colour with a signature on the headstock and an extra zero on the price.
All the signature guitars that I have EOB Strat, Robert Cray Strat, Flea Jazz Bass and J Mascis Jazzmaster (+ 13 non signature instruments) Appart of obvious differences as sustainer or hardtail strat there are very personal choices such as neck carve and other little touches. On all of these instruments I got cca 15-20% off the standard prices here in Europe (eob and flea 860 euro each, Cray 500 euro and J Mascis 420 or so) on for some extra 20% price over player series they provide based on my experience more resonant, more personal and overall keepers in collection. I like these instruments for what makes them connect with me differently.
Same reason athlete's endorse sneakers... cause it sells
Didn't Gibson do 3 or 4 John Lennon 160's with the original burst, the psychedelic paintjob, then the stripped bare wood finish as he did with his 'original'. As well as an 'anniversary' John Lennon model which may have had different bracing? I'm not complaining, just commenting. I wouldn't mind a 60's 160e for the right price, lol.
I think the yngwie malmsteen sig is a great exception for a strat since finding scalloped necks are not always easy to find (especially done right).
like the Jim Adkins tele... Jim helped design the guitar with a guy he knew from Fender, and He plays that guitar exclusively... like right off the shelf
The funniest signature model is the new Jimi Hendrix SG Custom. He played it like once on TV, said he didn't like it, and Gibson is like "YES, BUILD IT! CHARGE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!"
With that said... I still want one.
😂
My favorite is the Drew Carey fender paranormal stratouke in snickersburst.
Who's guitar is it anyway? Hope the Price is Right on that one
Tbh i don’t watch a lot of guitar videos that don’t involve actual playing, but I make an exception for you two. Wonderful insight, charisma, and positivity and you both always make a lot of cool references and remain respectful. Kudos!♥️
What about situations like the Greg Koch signature models from Reverend? He worked with them on the design, the specs and the pickups. The Gristle 90 sells out before it can even get into stock. And, Greg plays them.
I don't have a signature guitar, but I do have a Geddy Lee signature Fender Jazz Bass, and I freaking love it!
Lol I was gonna say the exact same thing. Bought mine a few years ago and that is an excellent bass for the price tag.
My favorite example of a signature gone wild is the Music Man Albert Lee model. They made a version of it with Humbuckers (which I own and love) and Al had to have been scratching his head and say "Eh... OK". But then they took it a step further and made it into a bass and called it the "Big Al". I laugh every time I see one because it is such a wonderful departure from what the original purpose of that model was originally.
I have three!
Yes, that is a winner for sure!
Recent subscriber here. I have no idea why, but I really enjoy listening to your banter. Probably my fav channel atm. Keep it up.
Thanks a ton Dan! We try to stay focused but unfortunately I get very confused sometimes:) Welcome and thrilled to meet you!
many of the signature artists don't even play their "signature" guitar on a regular basis
Just a fucking marketing gimmick like "all natural".... signature don't mean shit.
I'd say it's probably closer to "don't play them exclusively".
Mayer never played his signature strat except in the "bigger than my body" video... These guys are slagging Jim from Jimmy Eat World, but he actually helped design it 1 on 1 with Fender... and has played it for every (electric) song, every gig since it came out...
Fast becoming my favorite guitar channel on TH-cam!………..Love all the content!
……….maybe there should be a Casino Strat
Love the videos- still trying to get past thinking everytime a show starts "so thats what paul stanley looks like with ears"! You guys have a great balance of personalities-keep up the good work.
Okay that made me very happy! Well done Scott, well done!
Why can I not get a Nigel Tufnel Signature Series Flying V? It would also be cool if it came with a violin pick. I would seriously fork over tens of dollars to make that happen.
Don’t even look 👀 at it❕
It’ll take elevens of dollars.
I will buy literally anything if you put Nigel Tufnel's signature on it!
Or even a Nigel signature bass?
You guys missed the best looking of telecasters... Quilt top, carved neck heal, chambered body , flamed maple center block , flame neck , Merle Haggard Telecaster!!!
That is one of the prettiest ones ever...you are correct!
“Or who is Richard Lloyd you might be saying”
Took the words right out of my mouth lol.
That's what I am here for:)
We barely got an overpriced Mike McCreedy strat, that should be a $1800 signature strat for all us 90’s guys
Man that was a nice guitar but damn.....!!!! Expensive as heck, yes!
There's a name you don't hear alot, Izzy Stradlin...I love Izzys playing.....
When playing live, Joe Walsh plays a different make/model guitar for each song. Ca-Ching!
Smart guy!
It's a business. Signatures aren't always earned by your amazing ability to play. They are marketing tools to capitalize on the player's audience. Misha Mansoor has a signature Peavey amp and is known to use a Axe FX.
They're also sometimes used to give a company an avenue to get new features into their product line. They mention Jim Adkins in this video and he's openly stated in interviews that part of the reason he got a signature model is that Fender was looking at an opportunity to do a P90 set neck Tele and the timing lined up.
It’s not really a signature amp. He just helped design it. More of a collaboration. His signature Jackson is super dope though
The PRS DGT is a signature model that took a life of its own. It’s just an amazing guitar that David Grissom helped design.
Never even heard of him until i heard of his sig guitar😂
The fact that Gibson has never reproduced The Fool is astounding to me. They must really have a sour relationship with Clapton now or something and that's really sad because Gibson has always brought out an animal in him.
I thought the did.
They did a tribute
That’s a signature I would actually be interested in buying. Of course it would probably be like a $30k custom shop Murphy aged only option.
they did the Lucy Les Paul
@@ChrsGuit To be fair they were marketing that more as George Harrison's Les Paul(Revolution video) it seemed than Clapton's
If I could afford another Guitar I think I would be very happy with the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Strat. I like the neck the fret size the color the fact that it’s chambered and IMO he has definitely earned one if that still a thing. Good video guys.
A Keith Richards Telecaster would be pretty cool.
All 5 strings off it
With a humbucker for the neck pickup.
I was just thinking “why hasn’t there leaks been the Keith Richards telecaster”? I mean every year. Just a constant thing. Or a Lemmy Rick bass. Or a Richie Blackmore strat… whatever. Those guys should always just have a model of their guitars
I have an LTD BK-600/Bill Kelliher signature model. Love the full thickness, and the neck is sick, and the military green sunburst in satin just looks sweet.
Only has a tiny bit of the back of the headstock, so most folks would not even know it is a sig model. I like them that way.
Great video guys! entertaining as always!
I have two Signature models.A Gibson Les Paul and an Eric Clapton Fender Strat.Love them both.Yes a Les Paul is a Signature series.
The curious thing about signature models is the implication the company's production models aren't artistically sufficient. Yet, most artists built their names on the production models.
That's a good point.Unless they really modded out their guitar to become a monster on it's own that you can't get on their regular models it'$ all about a money grab...J.Mayer..Mayor.. I don't even know or care about that dude...that's what we don't need.As much as I love Slash,same thing.
IDK a lot of pros "tweak" their gear considerably to get the sound/specs they want. In those cases, I think it makes a certain amount of sense to do a production model that reflects those changes.
You guys are becoming the video discussion of trending topics on TGP 😄 I honestly enjoy your take though, saves me going through 30 pages of ranting posts 👍
Thanks a ton Chris! That is a disturbing idea:) TGP, yikes:)! And thrilled to save some time for you along the way! Have a super day and thanks a ton for sharing!
You guys rock. Always quality talk on guitars.
I was searching for a new inexpensive semi-hollowbody guitar. Came across the Epiphone "Emily Wolfe Sheraton", loved everything about it. Honestly I had to look up her music after I committed to getting the guitar. Love her music and the guitar even more!
Awesome find!
I have mixed feelings about the signature series since you tend to want to only play that particular artists music and it’s harder to feel free to play and explore other music! My favorite signature series Fender guitar is the new Kenny Wayne Shepherd!! He added so much input into this BEAUTIFUL guitar that I am in awe over its appearance and tone!! This is a great model!!
That is a great guitar, well chosen!
I feel weird playing other types of music on my Nick 13 gretsch 😂 But I'll still do it
I'm kind of stunned you made it through this whole video focusing obsessively on the volume of products Slash has with Gibson like that selection isn't completely tiny in comparison to all the Eddie Van Halen offerings over the years, from Kramer to EBMM to Peavey to EVH Gear/Fender. I mean, come on, now. That's a GLARING omission in this discussion. As for people who deserve them who don't have them - Leo Nocentelli Fender Starcaster (or Gibson ES-335, since he plays that now), Ty Tabor Fender Strat (Elite, if we're being sassy), and maybe a Larry Lalonde Fender Strat. Love you guys. :)
Thirty thousand subscribers! Congratulations!
Thanks a bunch!
The one guitar I wish I could have is a faithful replica of Nels Cline's 59 Jazzmaster he got from Mike Watt. That guitar looks more comfortable than your favorite pair of jeans and just screams at me to play it.
Great description!
I don’t have a signature guitar, but would gladly own the right one. It would have to sound and feel perfect for me. I do have the Muddy Waters tribute MIM Telecaster and LOVE it. It feels and sounds so perfect to me that I can honestly say it’s the perfect guitar that I never knew I always needed.
Great thoughts and attitude there!
These guys are worth a watch just for the humorous banter.
watched this vid while playing my Pete Thorn signature Suhr. i love pete's channel & his playing, but honestly bought the guitar because every spec on it was exactly what i'd custom order in the first place (& it would've been cheaper than a custom order)! i almost picked up an HER strat when they came out because i loved the color - had no idea who HER was (still don't really).
When Rick Beato got a signature guitar I knew it was out of control, signature guitars should be a guitar made famous by a great player, usually modded to their own specs. I have one signature guitar, the best one ever, a Les Paul(but I still want a Jimmy Page model)
But it’s the legend himself Rick Beato😂
Rick got a signature guitar! I've missed this, what guitar?
Dude has 2.5 million subs, and signature models are literally just marketing. Of course he was gonna get a signature model.
If I was a great, respected, world famous guitarist and I'd modded my guitar to be really individual and cool and totally my own thing, the last thing I'd want is a bunch of sweaty teenagers with Epiphone versions of my gear and a bunch of blues lawyers with copies of my stuff locked up in a display case. Mod up your own damn guitar!
So, basically, I agree with you. The Les Paul gets a pass because he actually designed the thing from the ground up and worked his butt off to persuade someone to actually make it, but all other signature stuff just needs to stop.
It’s weird these apparently great TH-cam guitarists can’t write a song anyone wants to actually listen to...to save their life. You’d think being a guitar genius would translate to writing cool songs.
@@84kjk Nail on the head. I returned to guitar in 2019 after not playing for a while and had no idea these TH-cam guitarists were a thing. I watch some and thought, fuck this garbage.
A Garcia Strat, A Verlaine, A Lloyd…. The list goes on…
I had no idea who Tash Sultana was before she got a signature guitar. She seems pretty cool and I'm glad I discovered her. The guitar is pretty cool too. I guess I'm a bit ignorant because I had no idea who Jim Root was and he has like tons of signature guitars.
It is a cool way to find new artists:)
I always wanted my own signature guitar even though I am not famous yet. My favorite squeeze is a 1985 Washburn G-10v that I modified just a little. I got rid of the Wonderbar and out in a Kahler cam style. Changed the control knobs to knurled chrome. And changed the single coil pickup covers to expose the pole pieces. Other than that. The pickups are stock!!! Another thing I did was to add a treble cut switch on the tone control to the neck pickup. The result is a very warm and woodsy sound like a humbucker!!! I call it the "mock humbucker"!!! All and all I created an extremely versatile guitar!!!
i’m glad you brought up the jimmy eat world (jim adkins) signature. i’m a huge jimmy fan, so maybe biased, but the ja-90 is a 12” radius and tv yellow finish away from being the perfect guitar in my mind.
also, since they are from mesa/phoenix, it makes sense jim got a fender signature with their headquarters in scottsdale.
Jim helped design the guitar... he knew a guy who worked at Fender and was jusing the Fender TC-90 for recording... Jim was asked by his friend at Fender how he liked it, Jim made some critiques on what could improve it, and it became Jim's signature model. Jim plays his sigs every gig, and his are all stock, off-the-shelf, guitars.
Could not agree with Baxter more; an amp needs reverb. It's a must for me.
That makes the two of us:) We will start a revolution!
I own an Albert Hammond Jnr. Stratocaster and it's my favourite guitar. I had no idea who he was when I first saw it, but I liked the way the neck felt and I liked how it sounded so I got it and I love it.
There should be a Jack Pearson Squier Strat.
I am really excited for the KWS Strat. I ordered one from my local shop in February and Fender seems to keep pushing the date out. Last I heard was late August now.... I get it with what is currently going on in the world, but the anticipation is killing me. LOL
That is fantastic! Excited for you and congratulations!
Richard Lloyd indeed. When are you going to devote an episode to your experiences with him Baxter?
Kiefer Sutherland is a pretty good guitar player and owns a studio. He helps out new artists as he has a band and lots of connections. I have his signature guitar and it is one of my favorites, love the ebony fingerboard. There were only a little over 150 made and good ones are hard to find.
I have one signature guitar. A Fender (of course) Chris "Kingfish" Ingram Telecaster. Love it. Even after several months it's still my favorite guitar, topping my Strat and Les Paul, both of which I consider indespensible. I didn't set out to buy a signature guitar but this one fit the bill for what I was looking for. Thanks, guys.
That H.E.R Strat did really take off in a way I never expected! I didn’t know the artist even until Fender released that Strat and because of that, I got to enjoy H.E.R. for the first time and appreciate the talent! Fender was a little ahead of the curve I feel like with that guitar. Good on them for seeing that talent before others.
How about Larry LaLonde strat. I think Primus has made an undeniable mark on the string world.
Now that he’s signed with Gibson kinda ruins my hopes for that
@@floopusdoopus i didnt know that. Thanks for the bad news. I dont like Gibsons.
Interesting video. I think it got out of hand a long time ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see a John McEnroe signature tele some day.
I’m thinking of getting a Brad Paisley Tele. It’s the only way you can get a V neck, vintage tuners, 3 barrel brass bridge and a NITRO finish. Some silver sparkle and a little relic’ing is but icing on the cake! Then there’s the Paisley Esquire, too.
Both are cool pieces:)
To be fair, I’d absolutely get a Kiefer Sutherland guitar if I could hold of one, love Kiefer and it’s a pretty rad guitar to boot! 🎸 🥾
Yes and yes!
I do own 5 different signature models from different manufacturers and many other guitars similar to models/ colors that some of many favorites play. Do they inspire me to play like my guitar hero’s... yeah, can I play like them... no, but they Inspire me to play. That’s the most important thing, playing!
hey Jonathan-- the mega hammer-on/pull-off solo from Sweetness was, according to Jim Adkins, totally lifted from Doug Gillard's solo on Guided By Voices' "I Am A Tree". it rules so hard its difficult to wrap my tiny brain around its awesomeness. if you're not familiar, check it!
Man that made me (Baxter) very happy. As a big GBV fan that is very cool to hear. Thanks for sharing!
The Jason Isbell Telecaster signature model is pretty great and an accessible level guitar with Custom Shop features like custom voiced pickups.
Right on. We are pretty excited about that one.
I love my Brent Mason Signature Tele. Wondering how many did Fender make.
I had a Jimmy Vaughan sig strat and you could just tell that the finish was an inch thick. I stripped it to refinish it in nitro and found a full Buddy Guy polka dot paint job under the Jimmy Vaughan white. They apparently weren't all-knowing with all of the sig series and had to recycle bodies that didn't have orders.
Man that is awesome! I would have loved to have seen that:)
Shoulda left the finish 50%-50% , Buddy Guy and Jimmy V…. That woulda been cool!
Bruce Springsteen guitar is a modded Esquire to which he added the pickup, rather than a Tele.
I decided I wanted the Zach Myers PRS guitar as soon as I saw it, though I had no idea who Zach Myers is. Then I researched it, even heard a couple of his songs, and now I couldn't care less who Zach Myers is, but I still want the guitar.
Tim Lerch REALLY deserves his own signature NoCaster. It would sell because of the different pickups alone.
It’s funny that some of the most successful and longest running signature models are from artist. Like J Mascis with his squire jazzmaster or Zach Myers for PRS. I think a lot of people know about their guitars but may have never heard their music at all
I really liked the blue sparkle finish but the main reason I didn't buy it is I didn't listen to him. And I don't like the aged neck..
Hi guys, follow your show all the time. Good to hear from people that have something to say . And not the usual drivel. In this time where signature guitars are given free to anybody and everyone. It is time thatGibson made an Andy Powell from Wishbone ash a signature Flying V . He was and still is one of the most underrated guitar players of th 70s . I Leave this suggestion in your capable hands. Cheers from bonnie Scotland
Matt...Yes...! Andy Powell and Ted Turner...AWSOME Guitar players...! Saw them in New Orleans at the Warehouse on their Debut Tour for Argus...my chest pressed against the stage at the feet of Ted Turner...! Still one of my favorite bands...along with the Allman Brothers...!
We had the pleasure of seeing wishbone ash on the Renfrew ferry in Glasgow ferry for quite a few years before the COVID . What a great band they even mingled with the crowd before the set and took time for a chat with the fans long may they continue .
I bought the LE Epiphone Slash Firebird because his ideal Firebird happens to be mine as well. Not a big Slash fan but I love my Slash/Roy Firebird! Haha
This leads me to wonder how many signature guitars are based off of copies.
Good good point!
The best ones ever as far as I’m concerned were the 3 Japanese made Hellecaster guitars, especially the will ray Tele with hip shot bender, gold flake finish and hotrodded jazzmaster pickups
Those sound like great pieces!
@@CasinoGuitars troglysguitarshow.com/2019/05/17/the-fender-hellecasters/ I’ve always regretted not snapping a Will Ray Jazz A Caster up at the time
@@JefAlanLong thank you!
I bought a Gibson Carl Sagan signature SG years ago, and couldn't be happier.
As a left handed player I hate Fender for not make the most any of the signature series guitars in left handed. I think the Kurt Corbin Jag was, but other than that I don't remember any other models being available in left handed, unless you pay for a custom shop model.
That is true unfortunately. They make their other prod pieces in lefty at least but ye, for sig pieces you are in trouble:(
To me, the non-big name signatures ought to have some unique feature even if it's a just a custom color.
Sonny Landreth Strat with the Tele bridge would be sweet. Might not move the needle on his name alone, but a unique spec.
And good call on the Springsteen Tele, shocking there's not even a limited custom shop exact re-creation. It's not even stock, so it would not be just another relic butterscotch Tele.
As I understand it, some of the most successful signature models aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest names attached. I know a lot of the ones I actually see people playing tend to be the ones with unique specs.
I love Slash, dont get me wrong, but I think he has sold out with his signature guitars. He shows up at a concert, plays something you’ve never seen before, once, they lunch it as a new signature model and then he never plays it again. I saw a video of gnr playin patience a few days ago and slash is playing a new acoustic... so its comming. Dont you find it suspicious that he rarely plays his own signature guitars?
Players play the real thing… the signature model is a replica. It wouldn’t make sense for a guitarist to play a replica of their own personal guitar
@@gunkanjima3408 I read somewhere that Nick Johnston plays the replica of his Schecter Strat more often that his real one
I saw Yngwie at a club in Dallas a couple weeks ago. All of his guitars were his signature fenders. I thought that was pretty cool.
Slash sold out when he toured with Michael Jackson.
Steve Howe Gibson (or Martin 00), Tom Johnston PRS, Chris Squire Rickenbacker...I bought my US Geddy Lee bass not because of Geddy, but because the bass had everything on it I liked.
I didn't know who Johnny Marr was till I got a Johnny Marr Jaguar. Now its one of my favorite guitars.
There are some signature guitars I respect and some that I don't. To use strats as an example because it seems like everybody and their mother can get a Fender sig strat, there are some that if you take the artist's name off, it's basically just a regular strat and part of me thinks what's the point? There are others that only exist because the artist wanted a specific pickup configuration or wiring setup or something else that makes it different to any other strat on the market. That seems more valid to me but even then, some artists with a sig like that might play amazing versions of it from the custom shop while the rest of us are stuck with a made in Mexico version or whatever that the artist wouldn't even be caught dead using. But there are plenty of artists who'll play their sigs right off the shelf and I respect that. As you've pointed out, there's many great artists without sigs that might be deserving, but it's possible some of them don't want to play that game (and maybe some that wanna play it a bit too much and want more of a cut then the company is willing to hand over)
The only signature I’d ever buy is the Jimi Monterey pop
These dudes are aloof as to why a Jim Adkins (Jimmy Eat World) tele exists, based on two songs they heard on mainstream radio 20 years ago... Nevermind they've released 10 studio albums, 3 live albums, and several compilations since 1993, and Jim plays his off-the-shelf signature teles every single gig... it's the only electric guitar he uses all night long
They need to give someone a signature Slash signature Les Paul. Three layers of signature.
The James Lennon Slash Les Paul.
It's so weird that all Les Paul's are technically signature guitars.
Yes!
I only have three signature guitars (other than Les Pauls).
The Marr Jaguar, TVL Jazzmaster and a Setzer Gretsch.
They all have just enough tweaks/upgrades to make them just a little better than the standard models IMO.
I'm not sure if anyone has said this but Bruce Springsteen's main guitar that people think is a Tele, is actually an Esquire that had a neck pickup added to it.
Great point and thanks for adding that one!
The Jim Adkins (Jimmy eat world) tele I think works as a signature model because it is so unique. Too many signature models just look like a regular version of the guitar with a name slapped on it.
He's openly said in interviews that part of the reason he got a signature model is that Fender was already looking to do a Tele with some of those specs and it lined up with what he wanted.
@@user-do2ev2hr7h Kinda but not. Jim was friends with a guy at Fender HQ in Arizona... Jim was using a TC-90 guitar quite a bit while recording... His friend at Fender knew that and asked for his feedback on the guitar, and he made suggestions... The guy at Fender got with some other people in the office and they made a signature model for Jim, who has played it ever since... His road and studio guitars are unmodified production models right off the shelf
the JA-90 is a better Gibson than Gibson can make. I own one and have bashed the hell out of it live for over a decade... I absolutely love it
who deserves a signature ??
Poison Ivy Rorschach from The Cramps needs a signature Gretsch,, that'd be the COOLEST
YES we need a Richard Lloyd strat,, also I wish they would bring back the Wayne Kramer MC5(flag) strat.
Frank Black Tele, & the Joey Santiago Gold top.As far as influences on key Alt bands, the Pixies have got to be # 1.And they can do a Precision for Kim Deal, while they're at it.
i caught that Gauntlet quote....nice one
I have a signature model and love it. It has a unique HSSH pickup configuration.
I want a Robin Trower signature Strat. (Hint, Hint).
YES... ! Love that slowdown near end of "Too Rolling Stoned".....
The Ibanez JS1000 Joe Satriani signature is one of the best guitars I have ever played.
All of Ibanezes signatures seem to be hitting the spot each time.
JEM, PIA, Tim Henson, JS1000 ect
Great guitar! Ibanez knows how to do it!
The only (TH-cam) player that I think deserves his signature guitar is Tom Bukovac. He is a world class session player!
The Fender (Japan) Miyavi signature Telecaster looks super cool! It's like a Tele on steroids, mind you, I have no idea who Miyavi is :-)
Is there a Billy Gibbons signature? If not, there should be! The H.E.R. Strat is beautiful! I wanted one before i even new who she was.
I guess the CS LP Pearly Gates was it
There actually was a Gibbons SG. It would qualify as an extreme rarity from the custom shop.
I just want to mention St Vincent, whos signature is really unique and kind of a smallish hit.
I like it. Looks kinda like an explorer with the pointy bits knocked off.
It is an awesome guitar:)
Looks a bit like its got those Firebird mini humbucker pickups,or something similar?
I want one, even though it's prohibitively expensive.
@@lanerussell7958 yeah, they do have a nice Sterling though $650
The Dave Murray strat has been on my wish list for awhile now.
Another one that caught me off guard was the J Mascis jazz master.
I bought because it’s a good guitar! I put a kemper sticker over the signature tho LOL
It is a good guitar!!
I have little doubt that we will see a Gibson and probably Epi run of the Peter Green/Gary Moore/Kirk Hammett Greenie in the next year or so. I do have boatloads of respect for Kirk on taking that thing out and touring with it.
Yup!
Slash bought back interest in Gibson Les Pauls, that's why he gets signature guitars all the time.
I would avoid anything with his name on it. Not a fan 🤷🏿♂️
Built-in fx loop reverb is a great idea. How has that not been done!
Right on:)
I do like signature series. It's cool to see a guitar you own being played in a video by the artist. A special color in a limited run is weird/cash grab to me.
Great point!
They'd make a "Brendan Fraser of Lone Rangers" band from Airheads movie signature guitar, if it'd sell.
100% yes!
It was the Tone Rangers bro :)
@@Tr1skad3kaphobe Haha, that would've been better name
@@thismothafuckasaid7304 Right! Perhaps the name for a cover band to perform their one song
Bought an Ibanez Yvette Young Talman in slime green sparkle. Lovely guitar and a great different colour.
I just don't know about Ibanez... Senn a few Destroyer models that were fantastic and seen some others that were not fit to be firewood.....
I swear, I thought I was alone in being a guitarist and a former D&D'er. There are scads of them!
I did think the Joe Walsh PRS was absurd. He basically just slapped his name on a 594 and said, “pay me”
What, like an autograph?
