This one might just be the coolest VIP Custom guitar we ever built. It's been heavily inspired by the guitar that we together with Randy at Karge Guitars built for Guns n' Roses guitarist Richard Fortus - including the selection of handwound pickups (a new Broadcaster inspired prototype in the bridge and a custom wound FB-RF Firebird style in the neck), down to the reverse bridge pickup orientation and headstock. For this one, we used hand-selected super resonant alder for the body and had it nitro finished in a breathtaking Deep Purple and aged by our friends at MJT - our/my go-to shop for vintage Fender finishes. The neck is a custom ordered Warmoth AAA flame maple neck with a beautiful dark Indian rosewood fretboard, that we had nitro lacquered and slightly aged by Karge. This neck feels like a broken in vintage neck.It sounds and plays phenomenal, fueled by a VIP wiring harness using matched 280k VIPots and a NOS .033 PIO cap.Like with all guitars, you may have to adjust the setup to your liking and/or to adjust it to different climates. As of now, it is set up with D'Addario 10s and plays effortlessly with low action.
