AboutAndy Expertise I am very familar with all sorts of questions pertaining sublime and the groups members.Whether it be about brad's songs,tattoos,guitars,amp,recordings,there isn't much i can't answer,and if i am not able i am willing to research until i can find one.

Question what king d of body was used on brads custom guitar
Answer It was a honduran mahagonay..nice kinda wood for sure.gave the guitar a nice deep resonat sound without being super heavy like a les paul or certain gretsch's would be.Dan Mcdonald(his tech and designer of this guitar)modeled it after a 1960's vox hurrican body.There was a floyd rose double locking trem,semouyr duncan jb in the brige(jeff beck model),a single coil,and another humbucker in the neck position he got out of an old broken dean guitar.
the wood,floyd rose,pickup really made this guitar sound nice through his triple rectifier.From what i know once he got this guitr he didn't want to play anything else..if he busted a string he'd get all bummed out that he'd have to switch to another guitar..cause he'd have to also readjust all his amp setting to mimic the custom's sound.
