@PieceofMindmusic That guitar only weighs about 7 pounds. It's all aluminum with a hollow body, aluminum neck and an aluminum fretboard. The body is powder coated white, the fretboard black. The weight of Duane's Travis Bean started bothering his back (koa wood is very heavy), he wanted a lighter aluminum guitar, there ya go. The first "Chessie" Kevin made (Kevin -is- "Electrical Guitar Company) is (probably still) for sale at Rockhaus in Milwaukee, WI. It's a damn fine guitar.
Buzz's is hollow body. With the exception of the wood bodied guitars, all Electrical Guitar Company guitars are hollow body guitars. There's a front and back to the hollow body. I know this because I've been friends with Kevin for years, I own the 1st 12-string bass he ever made (he's currently make the 2nd one for Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick (who invented the 12-string)), and, uh... a solid body aluminum guitar that's as thick as an EGC would weigh about 20+ pounds.
I think it's a guitar by Electrical Guitar Company. They make aluminum guitars, some have wood bodies, some are aluminum. I think they are making him a custom guitar and that may be it. Cool guitars, I recommend you check them out.
Is it true his middle name is Dingaling?

Is that growl and gain for typical for a Hiwatt? The riff on "Mouthbreather" is my all time JL fave.

@marcopervo part of the gain int h camera mic, but yeah at the volumes Duane plays at, the signal is like akin to a blender times.
