I've found this cool new demo of Govan's guitar. The playing and tone on this one are amazing, but my question is:

cause if you buy one , you will sound and play just like him ? Well, I hope it works with this one!! I've owned all kinds of Signature models (a JEM, a JS, several 'name' Strats to name a few) over the years and none of them made me sound like the related Artist!! Most notably was probably a Dimebag, didn't make me sound anything like him!!! If anything it actually made me sound worse than I did already!! That was when I gave up on that plan!! Oh! All these wasted years practicing!!! Perhaps you should have bought the Iron Maiden Signature models for that?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij99dud8-0A This post has been edited by Sensible Jones: Nov 27 2017, 02:59 PM -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a full Frontal Lobotomy!!

Looking at spec.s; http://www.charvel.com/guitars/artist/guth...rboard-natural/
Custom PU's; probably hand wound Caramelizing; Baking term for Charvel, the baking must be very controlled and takes time so the wood won't crack Compound radious; Fender to my knowledge keeps this feature premium on its models Inlays; Must be handmade Bridge; Probably made a limited number (no tunning wheels) the pictures show a tremel-no So in reality, its not a Charvel at all |

Of course, signature models are not worth the money, and won't make you sound like the signing artist, and nobody really buys them, I mean, look at the Les Paul!!!!!!!!

That's because you have your own Signature one now!!!! Good point! I've always seen signature models as a block to finding our own style / personality on guitar. Don't you think so? -------------------- My lessons

I don't know if playing a signature guitar would be a stumbling block though? It's just a guitar after all. I don't see how much impact it could have to be honest? I know that it's something personal and subjetive. But everytime I see a guitarist with a signature guitar as his main guitar, my interest or curiosity on his playing decreases. Something in my mind says that I won't find anything special or unique. It mostly happens to me with the most known models, as the white Steve Vai Jem, or Malmsteen Signature. In most of the cases, the guitarists try to emulate their playing too and that makes it boring. I think that it has a similar impact in other people that at first will think... oh, another Steve Vai wanna be. Besides this, I think that those guitars are specially designed for one person. In the search of individuality and our own voice, I don't think that getting the signature of our idol can help. Don't you think so? -------------------- My lessons
