(b) You couldn't care less whose signature model it is, but the guitar has some features desirable to you which aren't available on similar general-production models.
All the ones I've bought have been in category (b).
Some current ones don't seem to be particularly groundbreaking or different from the standard model but if that's the only way you can get a funky colour then I can't see a problem getting one.
But if they do it, at the price they’ll be they won’t be being bought by players to actually use, so it doesn’t matter.

Yet models like the DGT are far less stereotypical and most are probably purchased by players who have little knowledge of who DGT is himself
Ultimately, as with any guitar, it is only any use to you if you like the way it feels, plays, sounds
I have two signature guitars (well, three if you count the Les Paul); a Brian May Red Special and a Nuno Bettencourt Washburn N4. Both of them have unique features which can’t easily be found on other guitars - the Red Special with its Trisonic pickups and plethora of switching options, and the N4 with its Stephens Extended Cutaway making it super easy to spend all day at the top of the fretboard playing notes only dogs can hear.
What I don’t get is signature guitars which are effectively “Here is a painstaking replica of Famous Guitarist’s completely stock guitar, right down to cigarette burns on the headstock made with period-correct NOS 1970s cigarettes and corroded hardware”.
