Wangcaster, eh? Wow. Also, the "Rich Bich"? I knew there was a reason that John Christ got kicked out of Danzig.

That tends to happen when you're two feet taller than the Napoleonic frontman. I think his ideal backing band would be oompa-loompas. But, you know, evil oompa-loompas.

Ha, yeah. I guess that explains Eerie Von too, then. Maybe he should invest in some giant, evil platform boots. Put some gargoyles on 'em or something. Then when he releases Danzig 9 or 10 or whatever he can be the biggest one on stage at the two shows they play.

I agree the dolphin looks silly!
There is much more weirdness at his site: http://brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk/index.html best not go there if you're sensitive to guitar cruelty.

I also like to think that all early 60's fender equipment is happy to be playing surf music again. After all, its the music it was meant to play.
