This is the Apparition, it was a one off custom (though may be repeatable). The body is clear acrylic giving it a ghostly appearance as you can look right through it…hence the name! The neck has fibre optic position markers at the 12 fret illuminating playing on dimly lit stages. There is also an aluminium “Stargate” inlay at the twelfth fret featuring two more lights as the "suns" above each pyramid.

The neck has a satin black lacquer finish and features a reverse headstock design to complete the sinister ghostly look. The fretboard is a beautiful piece of Brazilian kingwood fingerboard with bone nut


Hardware is a Gotoh Tune O Matic bridge and Gotoh tuners. The pickups are two Kent Armstrong Super Distortions which deliver a high gain rock tone.
