I like that relic guitar. What brand and model is it??

[@THREE-WISE-MONKEYS]

Frank Vela hi Frank.its a warmoth body that’s been sprayed and stripped back to look a little relic’d. The neck is a Mexican fender RiChie sambora neck. Guitar has a sustained unit it it as well. I assembled this guitar a few years ago when the band started, and was kind of a prototype for the guitars that came after . Cheers Kypo
