During the 2009 Rise Khaos Infernal US tour, Ikon V was presented with a handmade custom guitar by Hellspawn of Grogan Custom Guitars himself.  It is a straightforward no-frills sonic weapon that features a body which is hand-carved from korina wood, a fast maple neck with rosewood fretboard, Floyd Rose locking trem, two custom-wound screaming humbuckers, volume / tone, toggle switch, and a custom "kill" switch.  Although not yet used in a live setting, this guitar will be present during the recording sessions for VadimVon's upcoming release, tentatively titled "Apokalypse" and scheduled for release in winter of 2010, as well as next year's tour.



So yes - shredheads, you would be doing yourselves a great favor by getting a guitar made to your specs by Grogan Guitars, a small but very busy company based in Texas.  Instead of blowing money on some stamped-out piece of crap with a big name on the headstock that was made by underpaid factory workers across the world who don't give a fuck about you or your playing, you should contact www.myspace.com/grogancustomguitars for a direct quote.  What you'll get is a well-crafted instrument made by those who care about the art of extreme music and it WILL be worth your money.  Be sure to visit www.grogancustomguitars.com.
