Anything sigged for someone on Avenged Sevenfold is the worst tho. Don't own one.

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
I bought my John 5 Tele, and didn't even know who he was before hand. The reason being, the guitar "spoke" to me. It doesn't matter who or what it's designed for... if it speaks to you, and what you want in a guitar, you would be doing an injustice to the art of playing, and yourself, by not...
Posers collect... we play, therefore we rock...

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
Im really not that concerned. I used to have an EPi ace frehley . cuz I liked the feature set. I just hoped I wouldnt look like a total poser.. I know LOTS of guys that use Randy R guitars too..

I never listened to Static X, nor did I know or care who Wayne Static is/was, but I remember liking his signature Epiphone V enough that I nearly bought one.

I remember thinking it was a little goofy that his face was screened on the back of the headstock. If I'd bought one, I imagine even years later I'd look at it occasionally while I played, and I'd think, "Dude, I still don't know who you are, but your guitar is sweet!"

"It's on your guitar, son!"

I've owned a JEM and a Wolfgang. They were both great guitars -- pretty specialized superstrats that could nonetheless cover a lot of musical territory. In fact, one of my friends -- who'd owned maybe a dozen different guitars over the years -- eventually ended up doing nearly all his playing on an Ernie Ball Eddie Van Halen guitar. He could crank out the VH tunes, sure, but he could also crank out everything else on it, too.
At the end of the day, it's "just" another guitar.

Single humbucker Strat with a hardtail bridge? Just about impossible to find anywhere unless you go custom. The Robert Cray Strat is routed S/S/S.
The Avenger is an awesome shape, thankfully it's available without a signature model.
Wish I could find one with a Strat-style hardtail. I picked up a mahogany bodied 006 recently and replaced the stock neck with a maple Strat neck. (The 006 is 22 fret 25.5" scale.) With a D-Activator neck in the bridge it's just about perfect.

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
I think the 006 would be a gorgeous guitar if not for the graphics package. Theres a part of me that wants a syn gates in purple but...that part of me is problematic.
The Robert Smith, Dan Donegan Ultras are hot stuff. A comedian named Greg Behrendt got a neat machine from Schecter too. I wonder if they started mass producing it? They could call it the sweater special or something.

LOL!! yeah, when I played my Ace frehley at church, I had to cover the face on the headstock. I loved that axe tho. I had one of the rare black ones. Flame maple top, 3 super distortions. I swapped the neck one out for a paf pro

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
I actually own three sig models, a first run Sambora Strat, a '97 Ace Frehley LP and a Aria Pro II Neal Schon model from the late '80's. I only bought one of them because it was a sig model. The other I bought based on specs, even though in the end I'm a fan of all three players.
The NS is a cool LP style guitar with a few extra features like an early Roland midi pickup system (that's pretty well obsolete, now) and a couple of switches that activate an adjustable tone circuit that can take the tone from LP to pretty convincing Strat with the way I have them set. Plus, the guy I bought it from bought directly from Neal, which is the reason I bought it.

The only poser are the ones with fake relics.
If you can level Warren's playing, you are a god!

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
You might be thinking of something else. 006 is a shape, and I don't think there's any artist models.
Mine is satin black, has a Fender-style hardtail, and now has a Squier 22 Fret neck with a CBS headstock.

Re: signature guitars = poser or no??
I need sl00sh toanz, dammit.
(20 years later, wonder why he never made it big. And no, sl00sh has nothing to do with it. Might as well be another BIG artist)
Why wanna sound like <insertHEROhere>???
Unless you are Tommy Thayer, and you wished to play in KISS all your life (again, as an example. Tommy personally has nothing to do with it).
Create your own sound, with gear that NO ONE has.
Don't give a f**k about what others think of your gear etc. (which also includes using signature gear)
But don't try to sound like "him/her".... Tha's jus' lame
