"Some of the guitars that don't receive custom graphics are still put through a treacherous distressing process. These two feature Ashba's preferred mod: a pickup selector switch near the control knobs and a kill switch in place of the standard pickup selector switch, as well as considerable stage wear. Ashba has been known to extinguish cigarettes on his guitars onstage, accounting for the unique wear patterns on the guitar on the right."
