Guitar Gear Gems: Custom Design Experience & more
1,0 / 5,0 | 
This week on Guitar Gear Gems, we look at Ernie Ball Music Man’s new Custom Design Experience, which lets you customise and design your own StingRay bass. Then, we look at the latest KHDK signature pedal for Kreator’s Mille Petrozza. Finally, it seems like an Epiphone Yungblud SG Junior signature model is in the works.
Custom Design Experience
Ernie Ball Music Man has launched their new Custom Design Experience, which they first showed off during the NAMM show earlier this year. It allows customers to design their own custom StingRay bass using their 360-degree view online site and will enable them to choose from 30 finishes and various hardware and pickup selections.
Delivery Time
Customers can opt for 4-string or 5-string models, and various design elements can be customised. Ernie Ball Music Man states that building shipping times take four to six months on each order, so be prepared to wait for your dream bass to arrive.
If you can’t wait that long, maybe order an ‘off-the-shelf’ model from Thomann instead or perhaps one of the more affordable Sterling models.
KHDK Deathscream
The Deathscream is KHDK’s latest signature pedal and the brainchild of Mille Petrozza of Kreator. Expect Thrash metal tones aplenty from this drive/distortion effect. Petrozza uses a Kemper on tour and wants a pedal to help him achieve a great tone, so this is the result.
Thrash Tone
The pedal consists of controls for Volume, Gain, Tone, and an Aggression switch. This analogue circuit was added to the front end of the digital Kemper system to achieve a more natural guitar tone with plenty of harmonics and a real amp feel.
They are a limited run and handmade in the KHDK Prague workshop and ship with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mille.
MSRP – USD 249.99
Epiphone Yungblud SG Junior
Yunbud has shared an Instagram post about an upcoming Epiphone Yungblud SG Junior signature guitar. Details are very vague at this point, and there is no discernable information on the actual guitar. Other than that, it is based on the Gibson model he plays live, and it is white.
P-90
It is a single P-90 model, and as there are currently no Epiphone SG Juniors in white in the current lineup, it could be a popular model for fans of this guitar style.
We will update you once we have more details, as there isn’t much to go on yet. However, it could be a great little stripped-back model to rock out with.
