A guitar for Halloween

Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars, Crazy Guitar Designs,

McSwain Frankenstein
When I was thinking about posting a special guitar for Halloween one guitar maker sprung immediately to mind, McSwain Guitars, yes I know I have already featured them many times before but nobody pulls off hammer horror-esque guitars quite like them.

Frankenstein is a chambered Mahogany body with a Maple top and a 3 piece Mahogany neck. The fingerboard is Ebony, Maple and Purple Heart that is stitched together with Leather cord! The border (can’t really call it a binding) is also stitched over black epoxy and red leather dye. Apparently this guitar is owned by Ben Moody, co-founder of Evanescence although he parted company with the band back in 2003, he has been collaborating with people ever since but last year worked with Celine Dion… erm…

That is one cool guitar. I’d probably stare at it more than play it. By the way, Jon, Guitar Noize is now featured on http://guitars.alltop.com

peace!

I have just been over to there web site - those are probably the most insane guitars I have ever seen. I can’t imagine playing on this one, it must be quite a distraction…
