Exclusive Video: Asking Alexandria's Ben Bruce Shows Off His Custom Ibanez Guitar
In this exclusive video, Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce shows off his new custom-made Ibanez Prestige Series guitar. Cameron Liddell makes a brief appearance as well, by the way.
The guitar has two Seymour Duncan pickups, a kill switch (the need for which is explained very nicely by Ben), one volume knob, one tone knob and a fatter-than-usual neck. Check out the video below for more details and the guitar photo gallery (below the video).
