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 Tosin Abasi has done with his stunning Ernie Ball Music Man and Sterling signature guitars.

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 melodic punk fury on the Epiphone Mike Dirnt Grabber G3. Pick up a signature series bass to motivate your playing with the mojo of your favorite player.

Artist Signature Amplifiers
As one of the most significant components of your rig, your amp must deliver consistent sound and performance every night. Of course, professionals know the importance of this more than most, with some having put their experience to use by collaborating with top amp manufacturers for their signature models.

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 give your tone that certain special something which you can make all your own, and the pros have embraced this almost better than anyone else. Plug into the KH95 Cry Baby to dial in Kirk Hammett's iconic wah sounds, or pick up an MXR Van Halen phaser for rich, thick movement through your tapping solos.
