To Boldly Shred Where No Guitarist Has Shredded Before: The Kramer Triax!

Spooky : Guitar Infested by Maggots!

The Grim Reaper’s Guitar

They sometimes talk about cutting edge technology... I guess this guitar is just cutting edge ! This scythe guitar is not good news for us. Looks like the grim reaper's decided to add a little style to his job, and take death metal to a whole new level ! Well, I guess...
