I usually just try to stay away from artist signature modeals all together. I want to be original with my guitars and not use something else a professional has endorsed or created. Such as those Dime Deans that are o So popular now, great guitars, ive played a few of them, but I wouldn't buy them because your pretty much buying somebody elses guitar, I would much rather get my Own SG and customize it the way I want it to look, but still get that Angus tone your looking for.
