Washburn Guitars and James Malone of Arsis, are Proud to Present His Signature V

Chicago, IL, January, 2009. —  New for 2009, Washburn Guitars would like to announce the James Malone Signature Heavy Metal V Guitar. Malone was the first HM endorse; he personally beta tested the early prototypes before they had been released into line production. His signature V is based off the original Heavy Metal Series with a James Malone twist, featuring his signature graphic bats image.

The Malone Signature V features a Solid Mahogany Body and neck, with a Phenolic fretboard, Grover® Exclusive Tuners, a 25.5" scale, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Buzz Feiten equipped. Malone had specifically insisted on including the searing sound of the newly developed Randall Pickups. He uses the Randall Ultra XL in the neck and a Randall Ultra Lead in the bridge.
