Edwards KK Downing Flying V
From ESP Japan domestic Edwards line, a very rare off-catalog model based on one of KK's Hamer Flying Vs. Pretty unique with metallic candy apple red finish and maple fretboard, customised with Floyd Rose and dual EMG pickups.
The oustanding-looking guitar it is based on was customised for KK by Hamer and used widely in the 2000s before being sold at auction when he left Judas Priest. It's the one he's playing on the cover of his book 'Heavy Duty'.

1983 Greco Glenn Tipton SG
From the Greco Personal Series, Glenn Tipton model SG! Another of those fine Japanese artist replica guitars from the 80s which I so love. Based on GT's modified Gibson SG with mirror pickguard and wraparound tailpiece. This was actually released by Gibson Custom in a set of 2 along with KK Downing's red Gibson Flying V. I particularly hold this model dear as I wore the Judas Priest Live 82 videotape to shreds when I was younger; enthralled by the band at the peak of their powers on the Screaming For Vengeance tour. Fittingly this guitar is outfitted with Greco 'Screamin' pickups!
