W
e all have guitar heroes—they’re
the players that inspire us to
pick up the instrument. Whether it was
a riveting television performance or an
incredible live show, we’ve all had that
moment where we were hypnotized by
our favorite players, and because we
associated them with their instrument, we
wanted what they had, and wanted it bad.
Everyone has wanted a Stratocaster at
some point in their playing career because
of Jimi Hendrix. Many a businessman
have purchased an SG in hopes of walking
away from accounting to become the
next Angus Young. Musical artists have an
incredible amount of influence on the way
guitars are designed and marketed. I’ve
always liked signature guitars because
they have that little something extra,
some special adjustments that come
from years of tearing it up on stage and
in the studio. With that in mind, let’s take
a look at some of the excellent signature
guitars available today.
