we should do a thread on "people you are surprised have a signature guitar model" because that happens to me on a weekly basis

that strikes me as one of those you could pick up cheap and it would be better quality that a gibson that cost hundreds more

relic guitars always make me think of the kids who didn't know how to skate that you'd see scratching their decks or grinding their trucks on curbs

I find signature models offputting for reasons I can't fully justify, even though the guitars themselves are sometimes quite good.

One signature model that I've always been a little bemused by is Squier's Simon Neil strat, which stuck around for a few years. It's actually a great shade of Fiesta Red, but every time I see one, it reminds me that I've still never heard Biffy Clyro.

The Bono Gretsch is pretty cringey
https://gretschguitars.com/gear/build/hollow-body/g6136i-bono-falcon-hollow-body-with-cadillac-tailpiece/2411409846
I mean, it's probably a pretty decent instrument, but no one in the universe thinks of Bono as a guitar player.

guitars with slogans on them really stand the test of time.

I hate when they even put the signatures on the front of the headstock. Should be on the neckplate if anything.

A vision board on the pick guard
Now there is a guitar that actually would be more palatable if someone went over it with a belt sander.

Rory Gallagher, who rode a motorcycle named 'Authenticity', would surely have approved of this relic oh wait no he probably wouldn't...Rory Gallagher Signature Stratocaster
How about the Jason Smith Builder Select Garage Mod Stratocaster? 'Garage mod' in the sense that it looks like its been knocking around in a garage for a few years.
Alternatively, do you want a guitar that looks like it's been stored in a basement that flooded? Try one of the Fender Custom Shop Super Heavy Relics.https://images.guitarguitar.co.uk/cdn/large/170/200918362198025-6352252b_03.jpg?h=500&maxwidth=770&scale=canvas&bg=ffffff&quality=70

I read something a long time ago that claimed that Gallagher actually 'reliced' his own guitar - there's the story about it being stolen and found in a ditch but that didn't actually do much damage and he stripped it himself in the late '60s.
