Hmm... it appears to be... a guitar. Huh.

"Signature" type guitars normally carry the name of artists like B.B. King, Elvis, etc. In this case, it's the guy from Blink-182.

The OP is apparently outraged. Or at least miffed.

Next up is the NKOTB model...

sounds great from a marketing standpoint...I'd say probably about 75% of guitars bought get played once or twice before they end up in a closet.

Why is that sinking low??? He's famous and people like him. It will make them money.

Isn't there already a Gibson signature version of that guitar?

WTF is the point in getting an ES-335 with no neck pickup anyway?

I have no problem with signature models, just why would anyone buy this one in particular if they really care about guitar playing?

If I ever find myself in need of the perfect weapon to carry into the battlefields of pop punk, I'll know where to find it!

Haha, that's hilarious. Apparently there's no need to be talented to have a guitar named after you now.

oh man, this barely tops the Squier Avril Lavigne Signature Telecaster
