The Elite Line features a mahogany body capped with a 5/8" AAAA maple cap and Brazen's distinctive styling. Brazen has added a twist to make this Fantasy a rocking machine. A Floyd Rose whammy allows for extreme riffing while the satin finished maple neck gives that fast, smooth platform for shredding. Jumbo frets in a flame maple fret board round out the package. Brazen Guitars stated that whether it's light vibrato, deep dives, or screeching squeals, the Elite FR will rock your world.
The Fantasy Carnival P90 is another state of the art addition model, which was recently developed for Davey Johnstone (Elton John band lead guitarist). Whether you are looking for classic gritty tones or smooth, shimmering cleans, the Seymour Duncan P-90 pickups produce versatile tones. According to Brazen Guitars, along with Carnival's set Brazilian Patagonian rosewood neck, this new guitar provides smooth bass-end and powerful mid-range tone, while the set neck gives substantial sustain.

The 100W tonezilla has two channels (now with their "cloning" so you can Vintage or Modern Modes on either channel, patented switchable rectifiers (tube or silicon diode), and of course, they're using 6L6s.

2 Channel HeadMayones is a dealer devilishly dashing instruments and they did not disapoint with the introduction of their Duvell DT6 & DT7 models that strip back away some of their high-end appointments to briing the guitar into a more-obtainable price point. That being said, don't be fooled, these shredders still rip and are handmade in Poland at the same small shop. These two feature a swamp ash body, a 5-ply maple-wenge neck, blackheart fretboard, TUSQ nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuners, and a single Velvetrone Ironside & Solium 7 pickups. (Each model has pickups made to their spec based on 6- or 7-string configuration.)
