The expensive guitars that the person would sign, would cost 2 or 3 times more than a crappy guitar with their autographs on it.

Because the people who are impressed by signature-model guitars are USUALLY beginners. Not everyone.

And there are some higher end ones. Martin used to have a 100% koa wood Trey Anastasio signature guitar that was upwards of $3000. They discontinued it, though. Adamas makes a couple of Melissa Etheridge models that are over $2,000, including a really nice 12-string.

But usually, signature model guitars are created with the purpose of taking advantage of a rockstar’s popularity and making money off of their name.

That is pretty simple. They are cheap because why would someone spend a lot on something that they are giving to a random person? How many guitars would the person give out? If they were to give out a lot would they spend hundreds or thousands? Your Welcome

Would you autograph a classic painting? Why ruin an expensive nice guitar?

cost effectiveness. most people aren't going to ever be playing them, so they don't have to be high quality..
