Frank Verrilli - FV Custom Relic StratocasterPlease Read Below for FULL DescriptionThis guitar was built for me by Luthier Frank Verrilli who is an award winning builder selling his creations exclusively through Destroy All Guitars alongside of some of the finest builders in the world.  In addition to building his own creations for the rich and famous, Verrilli also likes to create the best Relic guitars out there from existing parts he finds that meet his standards.  He was proud enough of this build job to display it on his website under fvcustomguitars so you know this is a great one!Let me list all the pieces of this guitar as it will give you an idea as to why Verrilli's command such a premium over other wonderful Relic builders such as Nash or MJT:
