Cover Girl: Red Molly
Black hardware, Floyd Rose Tremolo, Sustainiac...
Designer's
note:
"Once
in a while you've got to do something crazy to keep your sense of sanity
intact. This guitar is the throwback-wackadoo shredder tribute to metaldom
that we rarely build. So of course, we loved doing it. Once."

| Continuing
the red and black theme, the back of the guitar is festooned with
black cover plates to house the various electronics imbedded in the
mahogany back. |
|
| Black
binding, fingerboard and hardware against a transparent red flamed
maple top gives this guitar the "Bordello" look. The fingerboard
choice had to be black ebony with black binding to match the rest
of the instrument. Crown inlays of mother of pearl are juxtaposed
with the giant pole-piece of the Sustainiac driver. Is that a Floyd
Rose? |

|
| The
classic Hamer heel blend. The access to the highest frets
is superb, and with the sustainiac switched to the "harmonic"
position you can play notes only dogs hear! |
|
| Upside
down and backwards, so wrong... so right! |

|
| Clever
little pop-up battery box for the Sustainiac battery. |
