I'm in the same boat. Nice guitar to look at, wouldn't want to own one. Buckethead is a big/tall guy, so the over-sized guitar makes sense for him I guess.I've always loved the weirdness of the Buckethead sig, though I have no desire to own one.
27" scale, oversized body, and 2 arcade-style killswitches.

Chet Atkins has had a ton of signature guitars.
A hollowbody with Filtertrons, intonated bridge, and Bigsby would probably make very happy. Unfortunately, a lot of the Chet Atkins/Country Gentleman/Tennessean electrics have something that is a turn-off for me. There's lots of PAF pickups and straight-bar bridges under his name -- period-correct, but not what I want.
Fortunately, TV Jones exists and they can fix my "PAF Problem" with Gibsons quite well.
I love the idea but honestly never liked the piezo sound of Chet's Gibson solid-body nylon string, either. I would probably just go for Seagull's take on this concept:

If I like the guitar, then if it has a famous persons name on it so be it.
But theres no guarantee I'll like the guitar just because it has a famous endorsement.
I cant speak to 90% of em because Ive never actually played them. But just based on looks and features I like:
Reverend Unknown Hinson, tho I prefer the plain version with the real guys name. I can do without the bats and such, but I do like the design.
EBMM the Pertrucci model is kind of interesting, Id like to try one.
As far as sig Strats go, havnt played most and wouldn't know unless I did. Variations on a theme. I liked the Jimmy Vaughn Strat I tried once, I prob wouldn't turn down an EJ, Mayer, or Gilmour.
A lot of sig guitars just seem to be some kind of mod or funky finish on a standard design, and many of them come off as so gimmicky that I have no desire to seek them out.

I guess some folks figure that a signature guitar includes the talent and ability of the person whose name is on it. I am sure the setup of the guitar plays a role in that person's sound, but that is merely a part of it.

Didn't play any of these, but from specs:
The Malmsteen strat - there aren't many (I think) mass-produced guitars with scalloped fretboards.
Universe - there weren't a lot of 7-string solid-bodies available back when it came out (were there?)
Vigier Shawn Lane model - the only electric I've heard of that has a flat-radius fretboard, I wonder how it feels.

From my knowledge, when it came out I knew of no other readily available seven string guitars.

Those Fender ones are the worst. I mean, no offense and RIP, but Leo Fender wasn't that great a guitarist.

Paul Kantner once told me Rickenbacker wanted to do a sig for him. He couldn't think of any way to improve or change the guitar to make it unique to him so he told John Hall no but promised to call him if he ever came up with a sig idea.
