(Les Pauls don't count here. Signature model Les Pauls do.)

The Marc Bolan signature does look pretty sweet.

I have a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, and he is awesome so that's cool. It's a really nice bass.

In the eighties I really wanted a Brian May copy.

How much are they going for over there now - guitar shop over here are looking for £780/$1220 for a preowned three tone sunburst one. Sounds expensive - I used to see the black ones going for around £400.

I might just take the hit as the legendary T-40 has shit the bed.....

I've seen used Geddy Lee Jazzes going for $700-900.

Now I'm sort of interested in a Precision, and the Roger Waters signature looks pretty nice.

I played one once. It's got a neck like a Louisville Slugger, even for Precisions. Great bass, but a bit hard to play.

I have long fingers and favour big fat necks so it may be right for me.

The Geddy Lee neck is quite thin.

I noodled on a David Gilmour signature model black Strat in a music store for a good while and couldn't connect with it. It seemed deeply idiosyncratic, but then maybe that's what makes it a signature model...

[madmanmunt]

How did it differ from a regular Strat?

[MrMattDiehl]

What I remember most was it had, in a weird place, a little sharp pointy overdrive/volume trigger that hurt when you pushed it! (I also didn't notice much boost...) It had some "signature" tone knob switching that was a little beyond me... Playing it madero feel like I was borrowing someone's more expensive yet less compatible girlfriend...

You should check out the Steve Harris Precision. Big neck, maple fingerboard, Badass bridge, hot Seymour Duncan pickup. They are pretty great.

Around 2000 or so, Epiphone came out with a Neil Young "old Black" LP Custom that looked pretty tasty. Chrome P90 soapbar / Firebird pups, full Bigsby - the whole bit. Unfortunately, it was taken off the market before I could get my hands on one.

Hey I found a pic of it:

I see no reason to want a signature model anything, but no reason to object to one either.

Framus Earl Slick signature. I think I like it.

I TOTALLY want this Glenn Frey Rickenbacker 230 - shit, I'll play it loud 'n proud with the signed pickguard and everything!

The Tune Yards signature sanitary pad is pretty sweet

Wrong-o. The Rickenbacker 230 is a great fucking guitar. I'd play it with Kip Winger's signature on it.

I'd probably play a guitar with Reb Beach's...

Interviewer: 'Can you tell me about the new Kerry King signature EQ pedal from MXR?'
