yo, B.S. edit
Oh, reasons to delete this "article? Hmm, let me have a moment…
Socalled "signature models" have been around for almost a century, at least. Example: the Gibson "Nick Lucas Special," released 1927.
The root term is undefined. So, does Washburn's DD series qualify as a Dan Donegan "signature" line even though he named it the Maya after his daughter? (And why are there ZERO Washburns on the list?)
How about the First Act 222 line, named after the "lucky number" of endorser Adam Levine?
Steve Howe is identified with the ES-175 and Ted Nugent with the Byrdland. That mere association DOES NOT make them "signature models" any more than every Strat (and copy thereof) is "a Buddy Holly signature model."
For starters. I'll be eventually back, with machete.

Santana: many signature models, how to represent? edit
This is the list currently given in the Carlos Santana article:
- PRS Santana I "The Yellow" guitar (1988)
- PRS Santana II "Supernatural" guitar (1999)
- PRS Santana III guitar (2001)
- PRS Santana SE guitar (2001)
- PRS Santana SE II guitar (2003)
- PRS Santana Shaman SE-Limited Edition guitar (2003)
- PRS Santana MD "The Multidimensional" guitar (2008)
- PRS Santana 25th Anniversary guitar (2009)
- PRS Santana Abraxas SE-Limited Edition guitar (2009)
- PRS Santana SE "The Multidimensional" guitar (2011)
- PRS Santana Retro guitar (2017)
- PRS Santana Yellow SE guitar (2017)
I looked at pictures of a few of these, and they were all PRS-style guitars. They do differ in colour and sometimes artwork. I have not looked at the specs. I'm reasonably confident these don't all deserve a separate listing, but there should at least be a mention that the model is being frequently updated/replaced, in my opinion. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:38B:FD6D:1DA:E9B0 (talk) 00:21, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- PS: I assume that the 25th Anniversary and Abraxas SE-Limited were available concurrently, since they were released in the same year, and so cannot be considered replacements. Perhaps the MD as well. Models also vary in price from around $800 to $6000, with "SE" presumably meaning "student edition" or sth along those lines, and being more budget-friendly. 2A02:8071:184:4E80:38B:FD6D:1DA:E9B0 (talk) 00:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
