In the way that Kimberly offers so much of herself, and puts so much into each goodie and trinket she makes for her fans, we wanted to deliver into her guitar. So each of her guitars and these first editions are hand painted and modified by Tony Guarriello.
Each body is painted flat black, logos and serial numbers are hand applied. Then the headstock and neck are clear coated for addition wear protection. The neck and headstock are wet sanded by hand in a process that takes over two hours using finer and finer sandpaper until we are down to a satin finish that feels smooth and is easy to play.
To add to the power of Kimberly's guitar, a Seymour Duncan Invader pickup sits anxiously in the bridge position, waiting on every string vibration to send pulse thundering music to the amplifier. The Grover Tuners and Floyd Rose Tremolo hold each string in tune through every dive and scream.
On the lighter side, the neck pickup cavity is converted to a lighted, velvet lined "goodies coffin" made to hold and display whatever small Kimberly trinket you may possess. The single volume knob pulls out to light the coffin and all it possess.
In name of crazy antic redundancy, the Syren contains two input jacks, one on the front of the guitar and one on the bottom. Just in case you happen to rip a jack out while doing a crazy stunt off the stage with guitar in hand.
All in all, about thirty hours of work over a one month period goes into modifying a SyrenXT into Kimberly Freeman's Signature Guitar. But as you know, the real magic happens when it gets into your hands!
