A signature electric guitar is a special guitar model developed by a guitar manufacturer according to the specific requirements and preferences of a well-known musician. It is usually a replica of the model that the musician actually plays or has played on stage or in recordings. The production of signature electric guitars allows hobby and amateur musicians to play the same guitars as their idols. Features such as the shape of the guitar body, the type of pickups, the type of finish, and many other details are individually customized to replicate the specific sound and appearance of the mentioned musician's favorite guitar.
In addition to regular signature guitars, we occasionally offer genuine signed guitars. These guitars have been hand-signed by stars during their visit to MUSIC STORE Cologne and bear an authentic autograph of the respective artist. Naturally, these are extremely rare one-of-a-kind pieces – so fans and collectors should act quickly!
The popularity of a signature guitar is usually closely tied to the popularity of the associated artist. Accordingly, signature guitars from giants like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, or Jimmy Page are particularly sought after, though they are not always available. However, a perennial favorite is the Ibanez JEM designed by fretboard wizard Steve Vai, while John Mayer's PRS Silver Sky is also incredibly popular. Last but not least, shred legend Eddie Van Halen immortalized his distinctive guitar designs with his own brand, EVH, making them accessible to fans and collectors.
