The majority of signature guitars are based on an existing model and then pimped up a bit to suit the artist. Mark Tremonti’s PRS signature, for example, is based on the PRS Singlecut, Dave Grissom’s signature on the PRS McCarty. But in recent years PRS has changed tack a little.
John Mayer’s Silver Sky might have heavily borrowed from the style of the Stratocaster, but in PRS’s catalogue it was a new design; Mark Lettieri’s HSS Fiore was another, albeit with less specific inspiration.
