Ray Carlton visited me today to show-and-tell his latest custom build, The Iron Fist, which is on its way to California and a new home. Always one to seize an opportunity, I thought I'd give it some air time and make a quick demo of it. The Iron Fist has its roots in the SG but the customer requested a more balanced guitar with top of the line appointments - Korina, Brierley Pickups, Graphtech and Gotoh hardware - all custom built by Ray Carlton over here in Melbourne, Australia. Check it out.
