Re: Signature models.
Come on don't be a sarcastic ass now. Did I ever pretend I have "it all figured"? No, and I will be the first to admit I have a lot of learning to do. Right now you're over-reacting making over-generalizations over a very small and insignificant issue in the long term of schemes.
And simply sticking to my statements does not imply I have an ideology of being correct all the time, because what person wouldn't want to support their claims? Why even make a claim if you won't support it?

Re: Signature models.
I'm not. You obviously have it all figured out. You seem to be the only person that understands the true art of guitar playing, and guitar mechanics. You rule all. You have single handedly figured out that the guitar you play makes up 100% of your sound.
You the man!
Keep on rocking and teaching, bro.

Re: Signature models.
my telecaster is kind of a mock John 5 signature model. I bought it right before the actual J5 squire signature model was announced.
Personally I don't get the hate against people using signature guitars live. What matters much more their technique and style and not what their guitar looks like or who else uses said guitar. If it works for them then it works for them.

Aah, seeing thread like this brings back memories. The memories of a young, brave, idealist, but naive and foolish me.

Re: Signature models.
I like sigs that have a subtlety about them. Take something like the Squier J Mascis. Its a sig, but it wouldn't look out of place in a jazz setting or a punk setting, etc. It doesn't scream Dinosaur Jr, so just about anyone who wants to use it can and they won't look like they're copying him.
If that sounds strange, please excuse me. I haven't slept since 6:00 yesterday morning.

Mark Morton from Lamb of God uses an Adrian Smith Jackson on at least one song during their live show.
I think that's so freakin cool. \m/,

Yngwie. It covers most of what I'd want to do with a Strat.

Re: Signature models.
Usually I think sig models are cool as hell, but I always fear people looking at them and immediately labeling the person playing it.....
I would rock a few sig models though and stereotypical labels be damned!
for instance: #1 and #4 here.View attachment 45707
or this Dean Michael Amott
View attachment 45708View attachment 45709
the chuckie View attachment 45710
Matt Tuck sig, View attachment 45711
Joe Perry sig: View attachment 45712
Anything Randy Rhoads!

Re: Signature models.
I think signatures are good if you like the features they have and are different from the original modal. Like the Derek Trucks SG. Its slightly different the an original SG. No pick guard for example. Also if the artist who say played a Les Paul but changed the pickups or volume knobs and call it the slash modal. If you like the guitar buy it. Some I think are over the top like the Van Halen striped guitars.
But you can do some of those things yourself to a guitar to make it look like the signature.
What I dont like is when a company like Gibson makes a Duane Allman modal in a limited and wants 10K for it. Its geared towards collectors more than players. Not that collectors are not players. You are paying for a name sometimes when they do that.
Or they charge extra for the name while making minor changes to the guitar. Thats what I dont like about signature.
But if anyone wants to buy them thats cool too.
I only had one and it was a SRV strat. I ended up not liking it. Thats a different story.
Having a signature may not make you better player. It wont make you sound like the artist who its named after.
But I think they can be fun to have and collect if you have the means to get one.

Re: Signature models.
Just received my Ritchie Blackmore signature fender strat today and the neck is a very full U shape - very nice.
Guitar feels good and plays nice. Not light......even when not plugged into amp can hear the fullness of guitar....weight of body and size of neck seem like they truly do have more impact on sound then some may think. Easy access to upper frets...... Glad I decided to get this one.
