We've been busy early this year going through our inventory. We've got a great sale going on right now- but I'll get to that in just a minute.
During this time "off" I've reevaluated some of our current designs, and the way we have approached the business and market place thus far. In doing so- I've decided to discontinue a few guitars as far as them being "stock" guitars... meaning we will no longer be producing them as production line instrument. As always, these models will be available for special order and custom orders.
These models are:
ST87-FR
Executioner-FR
Executioner-ST
Vanquish-Semi Hollow Body
So- what about that sale you say ? Currently, we have several blemished SS-87FR guitars on sale now !
The deal includes the guitar, a Kases Polyfoam case, strap locks all for $449.63 ! Seriously ! You can't find a better deal anywhere. Check out the pictures on Ebay. You can also email me at info@spawnguitars.com for more information.
Seriously- you should check them out.

Spawn Guitars and Sinister Kustoms
As you know.. because you are a Spawn Guitars follower.... we finished our first Reaper Prototype.
Well, we have about 9 more we are finishing up.
This past weekend we were fortunate enough to be able to use Sinister Kustoms facilities to clear coat.
It was an awesome experience. Lonnie and Laura , the owners, were kind and gracious... knowledgeable and very helpful. Our good friend Dave, from the band WIKKID, helped set everything up and shot most of the guitars.
It was a great weekend, a fun weekend, and I can't wait to finish these bad boys up !

Guitar of the Week/Updates- October 24
Before I introduce my pick for guitar of the week I want to give everyone an update on the past few weeks.
First let me say, Spawn Guitars is now an officially registered trade mark-
As many people know, we've been working on our new Reaper model as well as our new Vanquish model.
Sometimes, things don't always go as planned, as has been the case thus far. What should we do ? Get pissed ? Give up ? Nah, we just carry one. I'm having fun in the shop, fun in the paint booth and having fun spending time with my dad... who has really been a huge help the past few weeks. He's been taking on some of the less desirable jobs like- sanding, re-sanding, mixing paint, cleaning the paint guns, fixing stuff, and cleaning up.. And I for one appreciate all of his help.. In case you haven't figured it out.. Spawn Guitars isn't just a one man outfit, but it's probably not what you think either.. I know when I need help.. I have the best help in the world, and some of the only people I trust working with me.. My mom helps by watching and taking care of my awesome baby girl while I'm working at the shop.... My sis helps by doing graphic design and artwork... My wife helps by not only having a job (I like to eat) but also helps in the office... So when you think family owned and operated.... You can put Spawn Guitars in that category. And I am thankful I have a family who believes in Spawn Guitars enough to give up their own time to make it happen...
And I know I can also count on our Spawn Artists to lend a hand when called upon.. Thank you all.
Ok ! So that was fun huh ? Thanks for reading that. On to my pick for guitar of the week-
I was going to go with one of our newer models, but I decided since we're going to be unveiling the new Reaper really soon- why not show off the discontinued Reaper.. ? That guitar was a very cool, beginner/intermediate players guitar. Although the new Reapers are built for total domination.. there is a big difference in not only body styling, but also woods, hardware and finish..
Here it is the 2009 Spawn Guitars Reaper-

TESLA PICKUP REVIEW BY JIMI FORREST
Artist: Jimi Forrest
Current Band(s): Fuzz Box, Sir Deville, Baby Jayne
Primary Guitar: Spawn SS-87 Custom
Pickups: Tesla Plasma-3 humbuckers (neck and bridge)
Artist Background:
Over 20 years experience in studio recording, live performance and professional guitar instruction. I have played with, recorded with and worked for many musicians on the local, national and international level. Guitar technician experience includes setting up, customizing and maintenance of guitars for virtuosos Tony MacAlpine and Michael Fath among others.
I have also written guitar/equipment columns for Mid-Atlantic publications as well Peavey’s Monitor magazine. I am currently performing and recording with several projects as well as guitar instruction on a weekly basis.
Product Review:
My Spawn SS-87 Custom arrived with two Tesla Plasma-3 humbucking pick-ups. Dual humbuckers are my preference in both my studio guitars as well as my live performance guitars. After setting up the guitar from it’s original shipping state, I spent plenty of time putting the instrument through it’s paces for upcoming live performances and recording.
Starting with clean amp channels, the first thing I noticed was the warm, tight tone from the plasma-3’s. Through a tube amp, they produce a well-rounded sound. There is plenty of mid and high frequency response without losing the punch of the lower frequencies. The Alnico 5 magnets do a nice job of not pulling the strings out of rotation for a long-lasting sustain.
I tried a few amp settings with various degrees of overdrive with equal success. The tonal response continued to deliver. Nice sustain and great response from overtones on sustained notes and chords. Even with overdrive, the notes remained clear and responsive.
Next…it was full-on shred with high gain. Rhythm structures with palm-muting produced tight tones without losing sonic integrity. Plenty of punch! Every note remained defined and sonically sound. Without palm-muting, the notes rang with a long sustain with nice overtones.
After working with about every pickup on the market, (from guitar manufacturers to specialized pickup companies) the Tesla Plasma-3’s stack up to the competition. Great tonal frequency response no matter what amp setting you use. These pickups are marketed for Rock, Metal and Pop. They are sure to make many guitar players realize their sonic potential. This is a great quality product that should not be overlooked when searching for THAT tone.
