I might have the theory that the artist might have picked a better example than the average model, or if a custom jobbie, it had been built with an eye (ear?) towards that players style. Either way, it might be worth paying a little bit more for.
But make no mistake, you are paying for what the guitar is, not who owned it the way that Trigger or First Wife would be.
(Full disclosure, I own a Beneteau Baritone built for fingerstylist Don Ross, and used as his touring Baritone guitar for many years. And it shows. But as much as I respect Mr. Ross, I bought the guitar because I couldn't pass up the opportunity to pick up a world class instrument at far less than I would for an instrument without the wear and tear.)
OMMV
