The Story

Fear & Loathing Limited Edition #4 of 25

A piece of art as much as it is a musical instrument, this is the Fear & Loathing Guitar built by McSwain, a collaboration between the luthier and artist Ralph Steadman, famous for his collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson. The original guitar was built for Slash, and others in the run of only 25 are available for sale! This is #4. Features include a carved top mahogany body, '59 Vintage neck profile, and a great sounding set of Arcane/McSwain humbuckers.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
