James “Munky" Shaffer Signed Custom Stephen McSwain “Monkey" Guitar

James “Munky" Shaffer Signed Custom Stephen McSwain “Monkey" Guitar.

Awesome one-of-a-kind custom 7 string guitar designed and crafted by musician, artist and custom guitar maker Stephen McSwain working together with James “Munky" Shaffer, co-founder and guitarist of the nu metal band Korn.

Signed on the back by Shaffer, this stunning guitar is crafted with the custom carving of a “Monkee" (more aptly described as a gorilla) exploding from the body of the guitar made of mahogany. The monkey carved of maple displays an aggressive growl displaying teeth made of real cow bone with taxidermy glass eyes. Tribal inlays on the body are made of various exotic woods. The guitar neck is made of maple with a truss rod cover with a “banana" inlay.

From the personal collection of “Munky" Shaffer, the guitar was used on the “Life Is Peachy" album. Signed on the back by Shaffer in silver paint pen with copies of pictures of Shaffer signing it.

Accompanied by an Ibanez hard case.

Excellent condition.
