FANBOI

aye, but shes still lovely

Yea, better ideas:

Kevin Shields Yamaha Reverse Reverb

William Reid Tremolo like he uses all over Honeys Dead or Darklands whatever the one is with all the choppy tremolo stuff.

ok, so what, I like MBV and JAMC.

that is the hottest looking jazzy evAR.

also, a william reid gretsch or whatever he plays would be cool

You do realise you can get CAR matching headstock jazzmasters already. And if you cant get them with a tort guard, well it's a piece of piss to buy. What purpose would this serve as a signature guitar?

didnt kevin do somethin odd to his vibratos to get the shimmeryness, could change the pickups too.

a thurston could have the rythm shit taken out and be given a heavy relic (just no strummeresqe stickers), possibly do a jag instead and give it hummer in the bridge. (thats not a bad idea, a hs jag) or do a jazzy with a jag pickup in the middle.

he put tape on the end of the tremolo bar so he could hold it more loosely. but yea, I don't know if that's enough to make it a signature.

Mages · Post by **Mages** » Thu Apr 10, 2008 8:51 pm

and he bent the bar more too I think...

more than anything i want a roseland mustang.

i wanted them to make this but i fucking built it myself cheaper and with more shortscale.org mojo help than fender ever could sell it for

or just hope they get thier head out of thier ass and re-issue excalibur and the whole vista line

i like would to see a sig model that is a normal fender that has been modified heavily, thurston moore and lee ranaldo would be good candidates for this,
and it would be cool if they made a tele like mine, with the jag trem and some decent p-90s.
not sure if it would fly, but it would be cool

I wouldn't mind seeing something designed after how someone USED a fender, vs. just leveraging their name. I admit to hard-on for a Horton Heat Gretsch (yet not Brian Setzer, oddly). For that matter, I might be tempted by a Billy ZOom (X) guitar, but since he is actually making amps, I bet that would be a better place to start.

I really don't care what sig axes come out, not that their appeal is particularly lost on me, but I'd just as soon mod a stock axe to my/their/whoever's specs... Then again that mentality (a prevalent one among internet guitarists I think) might be a minority.

If I had a sig axe, I'd make it a Starcaster, just so they'd start making em again

Have yet to actually play one

Sigs are usually ghey, but if I could have one for myself it would be a Maverick/Custom reissue or a replica of the blue Marauder.

astro · Post by **astro** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:04 am

They should make a GWAR signature guitar that squirts puss.

Jagermeister · Post by **Jagermeister** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:07 am

Or mine would be a Squier so that my likely 13 year old fanbase could afford it

Also it would give me Teh Courtz

It'd have a Mustang trem, 24" neck, Jag pups/pots, Jag body (but Mustang thickness), and not much else.

Mo Law-ka · Post by **Mo Law-ka** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:33 am

my favorite sig is the muddy waters sig tele.
rosewood+CAR+amp knobs=mojo.

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:35 am

+1 on the Muddy Waters sig being hawt.

Mo Law-ka · Post by **Mo Law-ka** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:38 am

the only thing that would make it better would be a bound body.

Richard · Post by **Richard** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:41 am

Hell yes! I think a blocks and binding neck would look good too.

Mo Law-ka · Post by **Mo Law-ka** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:43 am

one i'd really like to see is a reissue of Jack Bruce's psychadelic Bass VI. or, a reissue of the bass V

They are going to issue a BZ sparklejet. Billy posts to the Gretsch Pages in his own forum.
