i love melanie, i never really had a clear guitar hero when i started playing but she gives me the same feeling that I'm guessing people had about hendrix or clapton during their heydays, a living guitar legend. its a shame she hasn't released any music for awhile now but I'm hoping with this new signature thing that'll change eventually.
Melanie Faye is just amazing! I learned about her through the Fender Player Series demo video that Fender’s channel published. I then began following her and watching her videos to then wanting a D’Angelico so bad! Happy to say that I saved up to hopefully buy one this month!
If the lead guitarist for peach pit ( Christopher Vanderkooy ) had a signature, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. He plays a reliced candy apple red fender telecaster with a maple neck, simple yet elegant. His solo parts are so beautifully melodic 👌 👌 👌
Man I still remember seeing that first video. Her feel was just incredible. Glad to see her get a signature guitar. Well deserved. Thanks for showing it off!
I love every video you post but I liked it more when you talked about music/guitarist than gear... I get my G.A.S from enough people on the internet XD
She teaches a couple of guitar courses on pickupmusic. One of Melanie's courses is called "Neo Soul". I've not gone through it yet, but it is on my saved list.
It’s pretty good. I’ve got through the first half of it. There’s another guy who was teaching a lot of stuff but again I only watched the first half so maybe she gets more involved later
There are four guitar players whose music is always with me: Mark Knopfler (my favorite of all time), Eric Clapton, Paco de Lucia and Pat Metheny. I really like John Mayer, but my path to his music was through BB King, Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. In a way, everything is connected :)
Hey man, I have to say...I came across your channel a couple months ago and you hooked me immediately! You're funny, knowledgeable, a great guitar player, genuine and just an all around happy guy and you always make me laugh and smile during a time when I need it. keep the videos coming! Thank you
Just saw you get a shout out on the Andertons Music channel! Keep up the good work My Brotha! As far as signature guitars go, I don’t have any yet, but I have my eye on a few - John Mayer PRS Silver Sky - Richie Kotzen Fender Telecaster - Mateus Asato Suhr Classic T One day…
not a signature guitar (bass player here) but the rex brown sig thunderbird is one of the best thunderbird renditions out there, probably my favorite and I think his sig deserves more recognition for what its worth.
Cool looking and sounding guitar. Always nice to see brands reach out and represent players and at a limited run of 50 guitars it would be a piece that should hold value well
David Gilmour. Getting a DG custom Strat would be amazing, but for now I’ll focus on modding my MIM strat over time. I’d also love to see a Syd Barrett Esquire, but that ain’t happening. A few others would be a Hide Burny MG or a Sawao Yamanaka Cyclone.
So many great players out there. Not sure I’d want a sig guitar unless..., I picked it up & it really spoke to me. There are some players out there who are hugely influential to me. I hear them in my playing, all the time. But, They do what they do & I do what I do. Even if I look up to their ability, their instruments are often optimal for their style of playing. I need the guitar that fits my style. That’s always going to be a little different. Of course, maybe a sig guitar is everything you need, minus a little modding?
As soon as you come out with a signature guitar I'm going to buy it and I'm going to hang it on the wall and play it every single time I have one of those special moments
Mike - Your videos are always so entertaining and so well edited. I really enjoyed the snippet of your band; sounded great. Enjoy your new guitar, and keep up the good work. Steve
Love your videos. Very informative and intelligent. I have a Dangelico premier SS (339 size) single cutaway semi-hollow. A beautiful all white one. Best player I’ve ever had. Problem is, I play blues and this guitar is just too damned pretty to play blues on. I love the way Dangelico partners up with lesser known up and coming acts like Melanie and Taz to promote their products.
love coming home from school to a new mike cole video more than anything. edit: Tim Henson's TOD10 is the ONLY signature guitar I will ever even consider playing.
this guitar really does have this special look/vibe to it. Got like a old retro kind of deep blues kinda funky fun vibe too...kinda cool bro feels cool to see
I would want one of Paul Gilbert's old signature guitars from the '90s. My style is like his in precisely zero ways, but I have always loved listening to him play, and he gets amazing tones from his instrument
Oh finally some D’Angelico content! By far and away my favorite guitar brand. I’ve only been playing 2 years and I’ve already bought 2 of them. I’ve had to delete the reverb app on my phone so i don’t buy any more 😅😅
Got a Bob Weir D'angelico bedford, love it, its my main player, even ahead of my Les Paul and my Strat... 2 splittable humbucking P90s and a single coil in the middle, and a blender knob to add in the "off" p90
If you can deal with a chunky neck, I highly recommend it. I always preferred and thicker neck so I love the 10/56 V shape, but I know a few people that tried it and hated it. Personally, I love mine. The Mini JB in the bridge isn't the best humbucker you will ever hear, but it sounds good. I really like mine on the middle PUP as well. But what really sets it apart is the sustainer PUP in the neck. If you want to experiment, the EOB strat is a playground you can lose yourself in for hours. If you just want to make "normal" guitar sounds, you will probably be just as happy with a "normal" guitar,
@@ImNotOld_ImVintage dude I love chunky necks, especially the soft v ones like my strat. They’re very ergonomic and comfortable to use, playing it is such a joy. And I totally agree, the EOB strat is so versatile, it’s an instrument on its own.
Gorgeous guitar, you lucky man, great tone, lovely colour, I've a Simon Law strat that colour with TBX and Lace Sensors. Thanks for sharing 👍😊✌️💜 I'd like a Jimmy Page Tele, or Red Special, or maybe revisit Nuno Bettencourt's signature models.🤔✌️💜
There are 3 signature guitars I would LOVE to own. 1. ESP 'Crying Star', Sig model of SYU from Galneryus. - I LOVE his playying and he's the reason I decided to start learning guitar again at 43. 2. ESP 'Maiden', Sig model of HIZAKI from Versailles, Jupiter. - Another GREAT player, and the artwork on the body is just so dang beautiful. 3. ESP 'Snapper Ohmura Custom', Sig model of Takayoshi Ohmura from BabyMetal, solo. - PINK SPARKLES!! 😅😅😅 Unfortunately, they are ridiculously expensive, and I don't even know if the first 2 are even still in production...
1. Great content, Mike. You have one of the best channels and one of the best personalities out there. 2. I have a Joe Bonamassa signature 1960 "Normburst" Les Paul reissue. Love it! As much as I like many of the established guitar heroes, I like seeing newer artists such as Melanie Faye get their due. Gary Clark Jr. ("Pearl Cadillac"), Laura Cox ("Hard Blues Shot"), and Mary Spender ("Dreams") signature guitars would be mind-blowing and here's hoping that they keep getting noticed and get the point where you, Mike Cole, are talking about their great guitars. Definitely take a look at Gary Clark Jr.'s performance of "Pearl Cadillac" on Austin City Limits, available on Vimeo. Oh, my gosh! I just at this moment discovered that Gary does indeed have a signature model Casino! Mind blown! 3. Have a fantastic day.
Gorgeous guitar, congratulations! That’s a fantastic story too. And thanks for the pointer to Melanie Faye. Will definitely check her out. I have only one signature guitar - a 2012 Epiphone Ace Frehley Les Paul! That’s the only one I really want, too, because he’s the original reason I wanted to play guitar. I’ve looked at others but never pulled the trigger.
Aren’t those D’Angelico necks just butter?!? I adore them. The Silver Sky is the only signature I’ve owned and is definitely in that overlap of I adore the artist and I adore the instrument. I haven’t been able to play one yet but the Jason Isbell Tele seems like it could be a forever guitar. I don’t listen to St. Vincent but their signature guitar is absolutely magnificent and feels so good to play. If I was in the market, I’d love to own one of those.
Omg D’Angelico on top of those signature models of my favorite guitarists lately. Got a Josh Turner Tammany and have been very happy with it. Jealous my wallet couldn’t handle one of these!
Harley Benton has a decent hollowbody, the HB-35 Plus, for around 250 Euros with coil splits. If you live in Europe and/or are on a tight budget I would say that it does the job.
Melanie Faye has great style and bright future.. Love that surf green color semi hallow.. good choice. I would buy a Yvette Young's signature Ibanez... another amazing female guitarist
As far as for my personal playing instrument, not much of a semi-hollow fan. But I'm a Melanie Faye fan. I thought about snapping up one of these. Surprisingly, 6 months later, it appears they're still available. Wish it came in black.
I have a Paul Gilbert PGM30 and a Tosin Abasi TAM100. I also have an MIJ Fender 68 left hand reissue that I got because it was the closest you could get to having a Hendrix guitar at the time
Still saving up to buy Tim Henson's signature nylon. I've been wanting to buy a new guitar for a while now, but I have most sounds covered with what I have. I can't bring myself to buy a guitar just to add to a collection if I have something that has a close enough sound to it, but Tim's electric nylon is something special.
I'm a bassist, & the Geddy Lee & Marcus Miller signature Fender Jazz basses are both super versatile. But then pretty much any Fender signature bass is. Perhaps an example of a bass less suited to all musical styles is Billy Sheehan's Yamaha Attitude. It's a truly amazing instrument but you're not going to see any jazz players using one!
Great guitar and I liked the subject. Instruments really do inspire. It's interesting that I don't play the same guitars that my favorite players use. They definitely influence how I play, just not what I play it on. Thanks Mike.
D'A are nice...got a DC Deluxe (335)....well made...SD pups....but not as great sounding as my Eastman T486...so DA is gonna hit the sales market eventually. Love your channel...
David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, and I would like to try a Ritchie Blackmore Strat, but I have never played a guitar with scalloped frets, so I don't know if I would like it or not.
I like Melonie Faye, but checking out her UA-cam videos for about five she's great to be so young. I love a lot of guitar players but Steve Vai tone and guitar is what I like most!!
My only signature guitar is an Ibanez JIVA Jr. (with the upgraded Pandemonium pickups). It's been a great platform for me to explore new techniques. I also built a replica of Eddie Van Halen's black and white Frankenstein from the first album, but that's not technically a signature haha
All right Mike, gave you a sub and I'll throw you my pic. The dude from Raidioheads signature Strat with the sustainer, because it's a Strat and the sustainer is sick!
I own a couple sigs. Being an offset guy I own the Squier J Mascis JM, Inoran JM, JMJ Mustang bass, Tony Franklin fretless bass and finally Johnny Marr Jag. Mostly play along the lines of Mascis though.
Nuno Bettencourt's Wasgburn N4 (I have an N1 and it still kicks ass!) Orianthi's PRS Kenny Wayne Sheppard's Strat Slash's LP Eric Johnson's Sassafras Strat
Well I just bought a Sterling Luke, so Steve Lukather obviously. I really don't know a ton about his music yet, but I love his preferences for the instrument. I would be down for a Jerry Cantrell LP. I would consider a Silver Sky, but I haven't sat down with one to really know yet.
Jimi Hendrix. I'm building a Hendrix rig. I have the Seymour Duncan Jimi Hendrix Pre-wired "Voodoo Style" pickguard on my Strat, Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face Mini, MXR Octavio, Sabbadius Funky Vibe 69, and Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah. All I need is the PRS HDRX 20watt Amp with matching cab and I'll be in Hendrix Heaven.
Got a kirk hammett sig coming on backorder cause I play lefty and no one has my stuff in stock immediately. That said marty Friedman Steve Vai, john mayer and Tim henson sigs in lefty would be friggin amazing imo.
Marty Friedman is my favorite guitar player and i would definitely rock a Jackson Kelly if i could find it in a lefty model, the same equally can be said for Nergal - vocalist/guitarist of Behemoth, the music would definitely resemble the same overall flavor of these two influences as well because of the iconic history behind what made them official as signature models
The really iconic and ubiquitous guitarists that have lots of signature guitars like Joe Bonamassa, Clapton, or Slash come to mind. I might also play something like the Nile Rodgers Hitmaker Strat since he himself is so versatile anyways so his signature guitar is too
This was the first time I've heard her she is amazing. I'm a bass player that's jealous of the guitar player lol. Love you channel maybe one day I'll learn play the strat or sg that I have.
When Dime died, I got a Dean ML. I had an Ibanez JS100 but a replaced the pickups with EMGs. I have an Ibanez Jem and Jem, Jr. I'm getting EMGs in those. I'm tempted to get a guitar just like EVH had.
I kinda had The opposite happen like a year or two ago, I was on a trip to Berlin in Germany (coming from Denmark it’s not that long of a trip) and I knew I wanted to buy a guitar on that trip, so I went into a guitar store, and there they had a signature guitar of one of the 3-4 guitarists that had inspired me most thought my hole playing experience, Michael Clifford from 5 seconds of summer. I knew he had a signature coming out, but I didn’t know it already was released, and here it was, in the store, so I picked it up, and tried to play it, along with another Gibson (one of those les Paul special you can get with p90’s or humbuckers, tho one I pickup was the p90 version) but when I picked them up and tried to play them… there were just something about michaels melody maker, that just felt off, like the neck was really not a shape I liked, and the body just didn’t feel right, which was a shame, cause as I said, Michael has been one of my biggest influences, especially early on in my career, so I didn’t feel right to me, that his guitar didn’t work for me… but at last, I ended up going with the LP special instead, still have it to this day, and one of my favorites to play, the neck just feels right, and the body, well it’s an LP I always loved those, and the p90’s just hit that right spot XD
Number 1 for me, Jimi Hendrix, number 2 the blind owl, Number 3 Frank Marino, number 4 Randy, California, these are my favorite guitars.❤ and one of my new favorites, Gary, Clark Jr.
Wow!
The new sig looks cool.
🙄
this channel is so fun to listen to. Thank you for the amazing content
Seriously, he's a master story teller.

golden god marky
Good to see Robert Cray getting his due alongside BB and Buddy.
Absolutely love the D’Angelico team. We gotta put one of those 12-strings in your hands
My Alex lifeson epiphone is a signature guitar that fits EVERYTHING that I need!
Finally, someone talks about Melanie Faye! She’s so good!

- Richie Kotzen Fender Telecaster
- Mateus Asato Suhr Classic T
One day…
Dude so cool you got one. Melanie is phenomenal 🤘
Melanie is super dope. Glad to see you cover her.
Waiting for Nick Jonas Signature Guitar.
No no no
Lil Wayne
Shit Shawn Mendez has one.
waiting for dj khaled's signature acoustic guitar

Lari Basilio! The sound, the emotion, the style, the color. Gotta get one quick.
if i was ever blessed to find a B.B. King or muddy water signature guitar i would play it to the grave..
I started salivating when I saw that guitar. God damn beautiful
She is fantastic!
The only signature guitar I own is a Washburn N4 Authentic. Nuno Bettencourt is my favorite guitar player ever, and his signature is sick.
Love your channel. So down to earth.
So many great players out there. Not sure I’d want a sig guitar unless..., I picked it up & it really spoke to me. There are some players out there who are hugely influential to me.

I immediately knew what was about to happen, as soon as I saw the Thumbnail 🎉
So cool.

That guitar looks amazing. I used to own a D'Angelico. Sorry I don't still. Currently play two signatures: an EVH and a Nick Johnston Shecter.
"... You sure you're ready?"
I thought I was.
I wasn't.
My word.
Also, your band....
My word.
Glad I found your channel, man. Keep it up.
Melanie! Melanie rules. Her vibe, her spirit, and her playing is totally on point.
It sounds so good! Surprised you got one so fast wow
I would want one of Paul Gilbert's old signature guitars from the '90s. My style is like his in precisely zero ways, but I have always loved listening to him play, and he gets amazing tones from his instrument
Paul Sanchez. Amazing singer songwriter. From the 90s band Cowboy Mouth... But his speaks to me on another level 🎸
Miku Kobato's Zemaitas signature for sure is one I would die for and probably always play if I ever had one
I have that with Les Paul, I love playing his signature
Melanie Faye is one of my favorite guitarist alive.
Wunderbar! What did you think of Maggie Rogers' guitarist Elle Pucket? She used to play for Eisley, too. Fantastic guitarist!
Oh finally some D’Angelico content! By far and away my favorite guitar brand. I’ve only been playing 2 years and I’ve already bought 2 of them. I’ve had to delete the reverb app on my phone so i don’t buy any more 😅😅
Got a Bob Weir D'angelico bedford, love it, its my main player, even ahead of my Les Paul and my Strat... 2 splittable humbucking P90s and a single coil in the middle, and a blender knob to add in the "off" p90
I already have my dream guitar; a fender 50s classic series strat in surf green. But, I’ve been eyeing Ed O’Brien’s signature strat for years now.
If you can deal with a chunky neck, I highly recommend it. I always preferred and thicker neck so I love the 10/56 V shape, but I know a few people that tried it and hated it.

Tyler Bryant’s playing is absolutely incredible. Id love to have his new signature Fender “Pinky”
I'd play the Malcolm Young signature Gretsch every damn day if I had one.

Unfortunately, they are ridiculously expensive, and I don't even know if the first 2 are even still in production...

Orianthi's PRS
Kenny Wayne Sheppard's Strat
Slash's LP
Eric Johnson's Sassafras Strat
Ditto on Maggie Rogers! She’s spectacular. Nice D’Angelico!
Well I just bought a Sterling Luke, so Steve Lukather obviously. I really don't know a ton about his music yet, but I love his preferences for the instrument. I would be down for a Jerry Cantrell LP. I would consider a Silver Sky, but I haven't sat down with one to really know yet.
Love your videos man just got my first strat and love watching your ids
Jimi Hendrix. I'm building a Hendrix rig.

Lari Basilios Ibanez LB1, hands down! Super cool guitar and really versatile, other than that she's such a great musician 🔥
This was the first time I've heard her she is amazing. I'm a bass player that's jealous of the guitar player lol. Love you channel maybe one day I'll learn play the strat or sg that I have.
When Dime died, I got a Dean ML. I had an Ibanez JS100 but a replaced the pickups with EMGs. I have an Ibanez Jem and Jem, Jr. I'm getting EMGs in those. I'm tempted to get a guitar just like EVH had.
I kinda had The opposite happen like a year or two ago, I was on a trip to Berlin in Germany (coming from Denmark it’s not that long of a trip) and I knew I wanted to buy a guitar on that trip, so I went into a guitar store, and there they had a signature guitar of one of the 3-4 guitarists that had inspired me most thought my hole playing experience, Michael Clifford from 5 seconds of summer. I knew he had a signature coming out, but I didn’t know it already was released, and here it was, in the store, so I picked it up, and tried to play it, along with another Gibson (one of those les Paul special you can get with p90’s or humbuckers, tho one I pickup was the p90 version) but when I picked them up and tried to play them… there were just something about michaels melody maker, that just felt off, like the neck was really not a shape I liked, and the body just didn’t feel right, which was a shame, cause as I said, Michael has been one of my biggest influences, especially early on in my career, so I didn’t feel right to me, that his guitar didn’t work for me… but at last, I ended up going with the LP special instead, still have it to this day, and one of my favorites to play, the neck just feels right, and the body, well it’s an LP I always loved those, and the p90’s just hit that right spot XD
Number 1 for me, Jimi Hendrix, number 2 the blind owl, Number 3 Frank Marino, number 4 Randy, California, these are my favorite guitars.❤ and one of my new favorites, Gary, Clark Jr.
