[edit] History

SBO Custom Guitars were founded as an easy way of allowing guitarists to customise their guitars, according to their own preferences, so they can get the girls.

The first of the SBO Guitars was the XY[1], which will be followed by the SBO FX[2] and then the SBO Beast![3].

Customers of SBO Custom Guitars can order a standard SBO (such as the XY, or FX) or can send in their own modifications and have a model named after them.

[edit] Instruments

SBO currently offer Electric Guitars and Electric Bass Guitars.

The SBO XY features an integrated XY Midi Pad that can be used to control a Korg Kaoss Pad 2. It also features a Fernandes Sustainer at the neck and a Bareknuckle Nail Bomb at the bridge. In addition to these, the XY also features a 3-way toggle kill switch that can be used to create Tom Morello style stutters.

The SBO FX features an integrated ZVex Fuzz Factory, MXR Phase 90 and a Roland GK-3 MIDI Pickup. This guitar also features a Fernandes Sustainer, although it replaces the Nail Bomb with a Mississippi Queen. Again, this guitar features a Kill Switch.
