Product Description

An explosive powerhouse

The Glitterbomb is a collaboration between Vance and Glitoris punk pop guitarist, Samantha Bennett.

The principal requirement was to provide a lightweight guitar designed for women players that wrapped around the body, didn’t dig in and was a comfortable and slick player. However, Sam was adamant that the guitar also had to deliver her trademark cutting attack and huge full range tone along with dialling back for some cooler single coil action.

To achieve this we built this guitar out of premium mahogany and made it 3mm thinner along with having a larger body relief on the back. The neck is a skinny number highly angled to wrap around the body and get the fret board closer to the player. The standard stainless steel frets and premium ebony board make for speed and accuracy all over the neck.

That done, on top of the list right beside performance requirement was the need to look sharp. For this we enlisted the finish technology used on high-end custom car and bike builds. The Glitterbomb is finished with DNA BaZecoatMetallics Flake and diamond hard gloss clear coats for the body and headstock along with jet black ultra slinky Poly for the necks. Glitter is what we got. Finally, “The Bomb” was spec’d with custom made premium luminlay fingerboard inlays and dots to get around in the dark.
