    Gus Guitars made one of the final instruments that Prince used.

    There's a video at The Guardian's website.

      Buddy of mine just picked up a Kiesel Vader 7.  Pretty insane piece.

      But I must say the sickest guitar I've seen in some time is Gary Holt's.  The graphics were done by an artist that drew Gary's blood then painted the guitar with it.  Metal.

            OK.  If I can get a few, would you buy?  It's a practice amp and will retail for approx USD150?

              I have mixed feelings. I don't need another guitar amp, so I'm probably not a buyer. I think it's a cool novelty idea but I'm not sure a cheap solid state guitar amp fits the IH ethos. If it was one of Vox's tube amps like the AC4 and it was covered in 21oz denim it would make more sense to me, but I doubt that's practical, and it would cost almost three times as much. But if you can slap an IH badge on the Pathfinder and enough people want one, go for it.

                Or a JCM covered in 25oz. Would be total ballerdom.

                  Cool things about the vox amp:

                  Its uh, its got iron heart denim on it?

                  Its not a marshall or a line 6?

                  Not really cool things about the vox amp:

                  NO SELVAGE

                  made in china

                  solid state

                  10 watts

                  headphone jack

                  i kinda think it would have looked better with the standard gold crosshatch Vs. the salt&pepper

                  The standard plastic handle i feel is a missed opportunity. Stitched leather would have been cool.

                  I kind feel like i need to get together a custom amp with IH denim just to correct this.

                    @xtcclassic:

                    I'm not sure a cheap solid state guitar amp fits the IH ethos.

                    I think I tend to agree. I don't want to shit on the effort as I totally think rock & roll and iron heart go hand in hand, but chinese solid state practice amps don't really fit with the ultra stubborn hardcore quality to last a lifetime model that iron heart was built on.

                    Now, i think that, were iron heart to do an amp, and it was going to be a VOX amp, the JMI AC30 would be fantastic. Its actually still hand made in Britain to vintage specs by ex-jennings employees. This is the absolute closest thing you are going to get to a vintage ac30 anywhere in the world.
                    http://www.jmiamplification.com/combos/jmi-ac30

                    The problem with these are they are handmade and in small numbers and are upwards of $3000. Though that actually isn't that expensive for a botique amplifier.

                    Another route that would be cool is MATAMP http://matamp.co.uk  I honestly think these fit the IH brand about the best out of any amp maker out there right now. They are big and loud and old school and hand made by the same dudes that have been doing them since the 50's.
                    Do a 100w GT1 covered in IH selvage denim with an IH x MATAMP faceplate and I don't think I could stop myself from buying one. Also these guys have a garbage web presence but they still move units, so maybe @Giles  can convince them to put together a webshop.

                    Things i think IH should look into that aren't exactly amps but still guitar related:
                    Straps
                    Guitar picks
                    Gig bags (could even do them with thrux. that would be awesome)

                      Erm (hope Vox is not reading this)….We needed to get rid of a shit load of 2nd and 3rd rate denim.

                      We did....

                        I MEAN ITS AWESOME BEST THING EVER

                        Seriously no hate though…ill probably buy one just because its really quirky and a neat conversation piece.

                          I'd definitely be interested in a guitar strap, especially a denim over leather one, IH could do a collab with a boutique strap maker like Jodi Head or even Levy's. A quality hard case covered in denim would also rule – like a tweed Fender case but covered in denim. That would be fantastic.

                            Man id really like a nice gig bag made from leather and denim or the heavy duty canvas that thrux lawrence uses…

                            Matt Codina does some really sick old school horsehide straps... it would be cool to see IH get in on some stuff like this....

                                Thanks @Beerhammer - I need a guitar strap.

                                For anyone else who's interested, here's the Condina Leather guitar straps page.

                                    Btw… I've made a few guitar straps.

                                    An example of a music festival strap that has tuner, bottle opener, flashlight etc...

                                        Jeebus, it's like a Swiss Army guitar strap! All you're missing is a tool to cut fresh strings

                                          Lol. The hippie in me doesn't allow for cut strings at festivals.
