HotPicks New Omega Skull Guitar
Jan 21st, 2008 by Guitar MX Admin
HotPicksUSA, makers of those cool skull and zombie shaped guitar picks, will be releasing a new guitar called the Alchemy Gothic Omega Skull Guitar. Like their guitar picks, the body of the guitar is shaped like a skull. The guitar premiered at the Winter NAMM 200 Show this past weekend. Here’s a video of the guitar in action:
HotPicksUSA also premiered this promotional video at NAMM, which shows the Omega Skull guitar, and then provides some information about the company, including clips from a recent television interview with HotPicksUSA CEO and cofounder Stephen Key. During the interview, it’s mentioned that HotPicksUSA earns “seven figures”. That’s a lot of guitar picks! I didn’t realize they were that successful. It turns out they now have a business relationship with Disney, and are making picks shaped like Mickey Mouse, as well as picks with designs from many popular movies. Click here to watch that video.
The Omega Skull guitar is set for release in early 2008, so check the HotPicksUSA web site for more information. HotPicks can be purchased here.
It looks interesting at first glance for a trash, death band, I don’t know. Just that it would have been nicer with a double locking tremolo.
