LedZep2112 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Not a big AC/DC fan, but, if you look on guitar centers website, go to the Gibby signature, look at the specs, the pickups are speecified. just drop a 57 classic next to the Young hum bucker you were thinking of putting in, and you've got angus young tone. but if you are looking for the look of the Gibby signature, youll have to wait like me waiting for Jimmy Page to wake up one day and tell the world his recording sectrets.

The newer Angus sigs have Pearly Gates. lol! (or so I read...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaSTuS Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I'm really sick of sig guitars though I'd have to say I could be tempted by an Angus sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I think sig' guitars are a bit cheesy. If i was going to get an Angus guitar i would probably walk right past the signature model and pick up the SG standard, and if i was really bothered i would change out the pups. or if money is not flowing so easily then a G400 fits the bill nicely, def do i pick-up upgrade on the Epi though. Do any of the signature players play their own Signatures?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Do any of the signature players play their own Signatures?? Haha. GREAT point. I was thinking about that the other day. I've never seen Slash or Angus playing one of their sigs on stage. You think Jimmy Page plays his "signature model"? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigneil Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Carlos Santana. Oh yea! so he does. ~~I would consider buying a sig' if the artist in question actually played theirs on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaj Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Well, so does Slash. During the show in Portugal he played an AFD. But if my mind serves me right, he actually takes 3 AFD on tour. And the Marshall AFD amp as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren W Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 My epi pictured below has gibby 57's with Jimmy Page wiring. In standard config i.e. all push pulls in, I get great Angus tones. (well good enough for me anyway.) I sometimes run 9's in it for a bit of extra bend. Just use buckets of natural OD/gain till its just about to let go.

Darren W Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The Gibson Custom Angus Standard has Pearly Gates fitted. Bit Expensive though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodice Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Do any of the signature players play their own Signatures?? Nick Valensi - The Strokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Nick Valensi - The Strokes Well...his main guitar is a 90's Riviera with P-94's, the one that they made his signature model after. I don't know that he actually uses the signature model since he has the original guitar that the signature model is recreating. Not saying you're wrong, I just always see him use his original one.

Magneezo Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ummm, none that I've seen do? 57 classic and AY sig. Did I miss something? Well, no you didn't. I had read it numerous times but damn it if it didn't just disappear when I went searching for it and now every one of them says it "Comes with a Classic '57 in the neck and an Angus Young sig pickup in the bridge." Maybe I just dreamed I read it. It's happened more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 You think Jimmy Page plays his "signature model"? I think not. Jimmy has a REAL one...Ya' know, from 1958...Why would he play his signature model? And off of the top of my head: Steve Vai plays his own sig. I sure I could think of more...

LedZep2112 Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Do any of the signature players play their own Signatures?? Alex lifeson does. well, he actually plays the original if that counts. Thats is pretty much the only guitar he uses for encores. *edit* Mick Jones from Foreigner plays his sig quite a bit, me only being to one concert... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, John Petrucci, James Hetfield (occasionally you can see him playing his sig model), Dave Mustaine, etc. There are quite a few.
