zZounds Buying Guide: Artist Signature Guitars, Basses, Amps, and Effects!

When your favorite gear brands and artists collaborate, amazing results are sure to happen.

Pick up a signature series piece of gear today to completely nail a specific tone, or take it a step further and make it an essential part of your own signature sound.
Artist Signature Electric Guitars
Give your inspiration a boost with an artist signature electric guitar. Typically crafted with heavy input from the artist in mind, these instruments feature modifications that can range from subtle to over-the-top -- just take a look at the Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, complete with a lefty neck and reverse angle bridge pickup. While modifications on established designs are plentiful, sometimes an artist has the opportunity to collaborate on an entirely new concept, as St. Vincent has done with her stunning Music Man signature guitar.

Artist Signature Basses
While guitarists tend to get the lion's share of the glory, bassists know that their heroes deserve to get recognized as well. Perform incredible fingerboard gymnastics just like Geddy Lee on his signature Fender Jazz Bass, or pound away with some grimy rock 'n' roll fury on the Duff McKagan Precision Bass. Pick up a signature series bass to motivate your playing with the mojo of your favorite player.

Artist Signature Effects
The easiest (and most cost-effective!) way to emulate the tone of your favorite artist is by simply picking up an effects pedal. Effects can give your tone that certain special something that makes it all your own, and the pros have embraced this just like anyone else. Plug into the Cry Baby to dial in that bluesy wail Joe is known for, or pick up an MXR Van Halen phaser for rich, thick movement through your tapping solos.
