Alec Sandor's Grosmann Custom Guitar
"Romanian Sandor sent in a photo of him playing his custom guitar, handbuilt by a luthier named Grosmann. He says, ""It's the only one of its kind in the world, with a configuration to suit all my sound fantasies: mahogany body, bubinga neck (neck-through) and wenge fretboard; 3 Seymour Duncan pickups (2 humbuckers + 1 single coil); Ibanez ZR2 tremolo; Dunlop frets and custom Yin Yang mirror pickguard. I had it built in 2008 and have been happily playing it ever since."""
