Wild Customs, a guitar manufacturer based in the south of France, has created a mouthwateringly beautiful special edition guitar that is inspired by a Ford hot rod owned by none other than Billy Gibbons, guitarist and lead vocalist of legendary Texas rock band ZZ Top.
This special edition guitar features aesthetic cues inspired by a 1934 Ford Coupe owned by Gibbons, who has been renowned as a connoisseur of classic hot rods. Accordingly, the guitar's color scheme, body, curves and jagged outlines mimic the inimitable look owned by the classic vehicle.
Paired with a customized case, the Bill F Gibbons Special guitar can be purchased for a price of $9,999, making this a true collector's item for lovers of hot rods as well as full-throated Texas guitar tone.
