UVA Baphomet

Posted by Jon in • Crazy Guitar Designs in • Really expensive guitars

“The guitar was designed based on the so-called Sigil of Baphomet, which has quite peculiar history. Back in 14th century, the order of Knights Templar was accused by the Inquisition for worshipping the Idol of Baphomet. And while the masons still deny the fact up to date, I bet they are guilty as hell. The Church of Satan made this sign it’s official symbol.”

This beast has a mahogany, ebony and purpleheart body, EMG Pickups and will set you back $10,000 plus shipping! Not cheap. If you browse your way over to this product page you can see more pictures including photos taken during the construction and also a few mp3’s showcasing the different pickup sounds.

Also available from UVA Instruments is the Scorpio a much more affordable guitar with the option of a 7 or 8 string version - $1990 - $2790. Personally though I think the 8 string makes the body look a bit small and out of proportion but the 6 would look pretty evil. Shredders take note!
