I'm surprised the signed guitar isn't $14,880.

The electrics are Les Paul style guitars. Here's a Telecaster...

Damn, you mean I've been thinking the wrong name whenever I see a les paul? Looking at it, I don't really like the telecaster shape either, but it's not nearly as bad. I really can't stand electrics that have the acoustic-style headstocks where the tuners are on both sides - I don't know why but it just looks wrong.

You made the ghost of Les Paul cry. This photo is Les Paul with a Les Paul. I assume it's from the late 1950s.

What is an electric guitar shape do you like? Explorers? Flying Vs? Or...?

Steinbergers, probably

That's making me think of the bespoke johnny silverhand guitars I've seen luthiers make as display pieces a few times, except those of course have the body cutout in the wrong place and the tuners placed so the strings have to make a sharp turn at the bridge, making the low strings too long and making the guitar impossible to get good intonation with. You want to see a really cursed looking guitar, look those up.
