I can kinda see the Atreyu/BFMV, but overall this comes off as "Why don't they deserve it? Cuz I don't like it."
Anyone one who can make the company money deserves a sig model. It's not an award, it's an advertisement.
Yeah I guess that's true actually. I do like Bullet though, I just don't consider Micheal Paget a great guitarist, same with Chimaira. I may be wrong but I don't think people buy signature guitars because of their favourite band using them, I think people who've been playing guitar for a decent amount of time with experience will pick a sig guitar because it's a good guitar regardless of weather they like the artist or not, which I think kinda makes making lots of signature guitars pointless, but if it's advertisement then it's great for the company.
