I'm not sure if he is underrated or overrated, but the fella has got great technique that often gets buried in the mix.

    I like him. Live QOTSA seem to have three guitars going at once sometimes, but it all adds up to a great sound. As for his signature guitars, I’m not a fan of signature guitars anyway, so can’t comment.

    Yea good shout. He doesn't get enough love in the guitar community. QOTSA are one of, if not the best rock bands around and Troy is a big part of that. Looks super cool too.

    I have his Sweethead stuff and that is also pretty nice in terms of guitar parts. Also, he is a pretty decent producer.

    He recently stepped in for The Damned and Jane's Addiction, so he can play lots of stuff in various styles. 

    I happen to own both his signature model guitars, but I like offsets and the Yamaha is just a really nice semi-hollow for a lot less than a Gibson.
