Murph Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I might take all my Gibsons to Gruhns and do some trading.......
BigKahune Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Yes. http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/signature/ http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/limiteds/signature/ How could you forget Taylor Swift's Taylor? I bet you were the first in line.
onewilyfool Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Murph.....please don't over react.....I felt the same way when Martin came out with the Click & Clack guitar.....I don't even think these guys actually PLAY guitar.....so just because the Marketing Departments lays an egg, no need to throw the baby out with the bathwater.......who knows, Billy Joel may be a virtuoso guitar player....???? Here he is playing rhythm guitar at one of his concerts..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSepP_mvpnM Here he is playing what looks like an Ovation (KS Daddy should be happy about this...lol) http://www.billyjoel.com/photos/billy-joel-guitar Other pics http://laist.com/2008/02/25/concert_review_8.php I might take all my Gibsons to Gruhns and do some trading.......
Murph Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Billy Joel may be a virtuoso guitar player....???? If he were, he'd be worthy of a sig. He's NOT.
drathbun Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 If he were, he'd be worthy of a sig. He's NOT. A Billy Joel signature Steinway? Put two great honkin' pickguards on the Steinway and it becomes the Billy Joe signature model Steinway J-180 Everly Brothers/Billy Joel guitar/piano.
6stringTom Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 FWIW: Click and Clack do play bluegrass. The music starts at about 4:30 and is not bad, though hardly deserving of a signature model on the basis of musical ability. I don't have any signature models in any brand and think the whole thing is a bit silly, except that I could see it making sense if you wanted a guitar that actually meets some special design features related to a particular player.
vincentw Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I think Leo Kottke had a signature model with Taylor? Or at least he played them for a while. BJA has developed quite a following with his little band Green Day. I think they've done okay with their musical careers. Good for him!!
Rambler Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I think Leo Kottke had a signature model with Taylor? A Kottke sig doesnt seem to be part of Taylors current line-up. But they did at one point. Sorry, Murph, everybody's doing it now. http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/limiteds/signature/ http://www.guitarcenter.com/Taylor-Leo-Kottke-Signature-12-String-Acoustic-Guitar-517558-i1175318.gc
