well im new here so im not sure what to do. but I have an interesting topic for a forum. ever since I heard j mascis had a signature guitar series (and recently billy corgan) I wonder why there arent more alternative artists getting signature guitars. or at least frank zappa. is it because they like order them or does fender have to pay them or what? please answer im confused :?

John Frusciante deserves one for sure! :D

Im not sure but i think i remember reading somewhere that Fender actually did approach him to ask his permission to make him a signature model but he declined the offer because he didnt want to be imitated and wanted people to be themselves, not him.

I imagine one criterion is whether or not the artist can draw customers for his/her signature guitar like Clapton . . . or Avril Lavigne.

It isn't about who 'deserves' one.

Hello Angelsmom666,

I'm sure Fender has to get
permission to attach a signature
to a instrument.

If they recieve a royalty, it's
no doubt brokered through
the bean counters.

I would like to see what a
Frank Zappa model might be.

Cheers.
