I’ve honestly never listened to Limp Bizkit but love Wes Borland’s riffs and approach to guitar in general. This comment he left on the video is awesome: “I don’t want Jackson to build anything I want. Part of the fun of what I do is getting to experiment. A lot of guitarists don’t understand me because I’m a visual artist first and I don’t approach the guitar in the same way that traditional players do. I love love love this one more because of the flaws. It now has it’s own identity and more than any guitar I’ve ever owned, this one gets the most compliments and interest from those who see it.”
