Getting a signature model...

Out of curiosity, how does a well-known artist go about getting a signature model? For example, did Marcus Miller ask Fender for a signature model or did they approach him about it? I'm sure it's different for alot of cases but I was wondering.. Thanks alot

Fender asked marcus miller if they could borrow his bass and he allowed them to go in and look at it from every angle and made a Sig. model for him. So in this case (like most cases id imagine) the artist was asked.
