The guitar is signed by Alec Gillis (He is the artist who designed the monsters in some of the Tremor's movies and the aliens in Starship Troopers among other things! Check out StudioADI on YouTube to see more of his work). Anyway, the guitar is in good condition, I've modded it with Strap locks, a Schaller Floyd Rose, a Bill Lawrence L500xl bridge pickup and beer bottle cap tone knob and volume grips, it doesn't have the backplate for the tremolo because I like to mute the springs with my body when I play it. The only noticeable cosmetic flaw is a cigarette burn near the autograph. The tone knobs are push/pull coil taps so you can get a variety of tone from this beast. The little Blackstar amp works well, I've had it for several years, dropped it a bunch of times and you'd never notice a difference. I need to sell this stuff before the 7th or else my family and I will be evicted. It pains me to have to sell this guitar because I busted my ass for it several years ago and it was my dream guitar.
