That's really the only site with any info on Isaac Brock's gear, and even some of the accounts on there contradict eachother. All I know for sure is that he uses a sonic blue Jag-Stang and two silverface Fender Super Six amps connected together. He also has a Twin Reverb, and I'm pretty sure he uses a delay, distortion, and a volume pedal of some sort.

Its a custom made natural finish guitar, i can't find any info on it.

The weird thing about it is the bridge he has on it. It has a little lever for each string that are like individual whammy bars for each string.

i really want to find info on this bridge because i'm interested in putting somthing like it on my guitar.

No, it's not that thing. I just saw a pic of the guitar and I have no clue what kind of bridge that is.

from what i've read, it's just a floyd rose without the trem bar. All he does is grabs it and tweaks it when he wants to create abnormal whammy sounds. I had a Fender Performer for awhile and I could do the same thing. Only, that guitar sounded even worse than his does.

I've heard them live recently, and they always sound out of tune. I don't know how i feel about that one.

When i saw them on Comedy Central's Last Laugh '04 Issac had that custom made PRS guitar, it looks like it has 2 single coils and a bridge humbucker or something. He would put his hand under the Floyd Rose or whatever tremolo it was and just bend the notes (he used this with really reverb drenched or delayed sounds, it sounded cool). He had two what looked like to be Fender Twins, or Super Sixes, not quite sure. The rythym guitarist had a black Tele Thinline without a cover on the bridge humbucker. That's all i saw.

It's definetly not a PRS. I've seen it many times, and the headstock is nothing like it. And, it sounds too cheap to be of that quality.

It's a custom vibrato. Each one of those little levers controls a different string.
