Gwar's Balsac—the Jaws of Death

Mike Derks donned his monster suit and played his signature model Schecter Balsac the Jaws 'o Death 6-string the whole hilarious set at Riot Fest. Nicknamed "Jaw," it’s a jagged version of a classic V-shape body loaded with a single Fishman Fluence humbucker. His backup guitar (shown here) is identical, except it has a Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackout pickup.
