Meanwhile, at Warmoth...Michael Hampton gets a Warmoth neck

[aarontunes]

Micheal Hampton, long time guitarist with the legendary funk band Funkadelic, was probably the first guitarist to ever put a left handed neck on a right-hand body. Read more about it here: http://blog.warmoth.com/2015/11/17/re...

In this video Michael talks about his Rosewood Warmoth Stratocaster® replacement neck.

That's a super unusual and cool looking guitar! The green just jumps right out.
And it's low-tuned enough to make the djent kids run for their money!  :laughing11:

But sorry but does the guy wear his underpants on his head?  :toothy11:

The guy in the OP video is Michael Hampton, and the "bedazzled" Strat with three humbuckers and the reverse headstock was/is his. According to Mike, he and Garry often switched/shared instruments. Here is a picture of both of them. On the left Garry Shider is playing Michael Hampton’s bedazzled Strat. Michael is on the right, playing an Alembic. This info is all straight from Mike.
