A scary clown-themed guitar with through-the-body green-glass eyes that transmit the back light through to the front for a “flashing” effect. Body is hard ash and painted with enamels. Maple through-the-body neck with ebony fretboard and peghead carved as a clown hat with an eight-ball top. Multicolored Steinberger tuners finish the hat. Hot-wound Carvin humbuckers are painted into the teeth of the mouth and mounted from behind to make a very clean look (see back detail photos). The piece also has a Wilkinson tremolo, mini-switch for coil-tap, two tones controls (0.05 cap and Black Ice gain tone). Dice knobs complete the look.

You can also view "Dicey Clown" at Joe's Record Paradise in Silver Spring, MD.
