Third Eye Guitars (often referred to as 3YE) is the brain child of Jerome and jb, owners of the French guitar company Custom77.3YE Guitars was created in 2012 as an opportunity to develop metal oriented guitars that couldn't fit in Custom77 distinctive vintage style catalog. The rapid, and deserved, rise of Chunk ! coincided perfectly with the development of Third Eye Guitars. That signature model had a raging success and was sold to CNCC fans worldwide in a couple of month ! Third Eye Guitars artists:Joey Sturgis (producer of Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, We Came as Romans, Emmure…), City Lights (USA), Early Seasons (France), Wake the Giants (Australia), The Earl Grey (France), Falling Here (Italia), Now I See (Russia), Legend of You (USA). Features: Using exclusively 3YE Guitars London's Burning - Baritone during the recording of "Pardon My French", CNCC's guitarists Eric and Paul worked with 3YE to develop a new signature model that would follow them during the upcoming tour. An instrument that would endure the hard touring life and that would deliver their wide, produced, high gain but controlled studio sound to the stage. The result is a slick and dangerous looking guitar that, end to end, is a more than two-inch longer than the LFL - Evil Twin, but delivers the girthful tone, low notes, giant chords, and other sonic beef that can only be achieved by going long scale and tuning down to B. This instrument is right at home in heavy music, and consistently low action across its monolith-straight neck makes it a great guitar for faster riffs and fills-especially if you facilitate matters further by dialing in the forgiving distortion and natural compression of a high-gain amp. Seymour Duncan Blackouts were the perfect pickups to match this lively guitar and reach perfectly that woody, warm and intensely organic sought-after sound. The Blackouts supercharge the instrument's tonal quality and scream with an animalistic emotion and toothy bite.

A nearly Perfect Baritone Axe
I have always wanted a baritone guitar because I like gnarly, low-end, tasty riffs. There is only one thing that sucked about this guitar and I am going to get that out of the way first. The nut is cheap-ass black plastic. I had incurable fret buzz from day one on the 5th string and ended up replacing it entirely with a custom whale bone nut. I have no idea why those French geniuses decided to put that garbage nut on this magnificent axe. Everything else about this thing is flawless. The Seymour Duncan blackouts are scorching. The fretboard is perfect, with low action, perfect dressing, and no buzz after the nut replacement. The neck is FAST. The tone knob and channel switch do a great job of contouring various sounds. I can get a warm, crackly, distorted purr just as easily as a crushing, precise, percussive chug. The cleans are okay, but let's be honest; this is not the guitar for clean, low-end, big band chicanery. It's a weapon and it does its job well. The white body is perfectly accentuated by the gold hardware and the wood trim around the body. Overall, I actually recommend that you buy this guitar and have a professional replace the nut with a custom job. It really is that good once you fix that single spurious flaw. Don't buy a different baritone. Buy this one and fix it.
