Conspiracy Series pre-orders are open!

Pre-orders for the Conspiracy Series guitars have begun. There are some new models like the Michael Sweet signature MS Revolution, graphics, and of course, sparkles. As usual, there are different payment options, too, so click the image below and get more info about each of the models.

The pre-order window is open for a limited time, so don't sleep on it, since preorders will determine what extras become available. The facebook group has a lot of great info about the Conspiracy Series as well, so if you haven't joined yet, click here. Of course, the Sully Guitars website has all of the info, too.

Pickups

Sully pickups are made from recipes that I’ve used for years, and I’m happy to make them available to you as an aftermarket option. There are a handful of humbuckers available as well as single coils, and they're all made to order in the US. Check 'em out here

Custom orders

For the time being, the custom order books are closed for the foreseeable future so I can get through the backlog as well as some new/refreshed models (like that 624 makeover I've been threatening for a while). I'm working on getting some part time assistance (I've got someone in mind already), and if things go as planned, that's going to be a big help in the long run.

Head like a Hole!

/

Buckcherry released a video today of their killer cover of the NIN classic Head Like a Hole. It’s the first single from their upcoming album, Warpaint, which comes out March 8. You can see Stevie D and his signature Conspiracy Series ‘71 SD in the video, but I’m warning ya; if you’ve had more than a little bit of coffee recently, this may feel a bit like a speedball!

"Head Like A Hole" is a track off of Buckcherry's long awaited album "Warpaint" out March 8, 2019. Stream "Head Like A Hole" via: https://red.lnk.to/HLAH Buckcherry on tour: http://buckcherry.com/tour/ Directed by Jeremy Saffer

The Conspiracy Series - Tinfoil hats not included

/

I was really excited to reveal the prototypes for the Conspiracy Series last week at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA. "What's the Conspiracy Series?" you ask? Why, it's the production line of guitars from yours truly! 

Made in South Korea by World Musical Instruments (same factory that produces Schecter, LTD, PRS SE, and many others), the Conspiracy Series gives me the ability to offer Sullys at less than half of the cost of a custom. The great thing about it is that they share some features with the custom, hand made guitars you're used to seeing from me (stainless steel frets, compound radius fretboards, premium hardware), but there are a few things I can do in the Conspiracy Series that would be cost prohibitive if offered as a custom (the combination of matte and gloss black in the paint job of the '71 SD, for example). The neck shapes are very Sully, the guitars feel solid, and all of the prototypes were acoustically loud and resonant. That's always been the main goal for me; if it rings before you plug it in, that's a good thing. 

'71 SD - Stevie D Signature model

While I was working on the idea of the Conspiracy Series on and off through 2017, I wanted to give the guitars in the series their own identity and style. For example, the Stardust has the 3/3 Aero headstock (which I've always thought was the best headstock for that model) instead of the Raven headstock that you've mostly seen with the Stardust, and it also has a forearm contour (all of the customs have a flat top and binding). Small changes, yes, but things that give them their own style.

The '71 Starling is based on the very first '71 I built; it's got a flat top and a forearm bevel that accentuates the shape of the body quite nicely. I also removed the wraparound bridge that is most commonly associated with the '71 and I think that the Hipshot hardtail bridge suits it very well. 

The headstocks all have the Sully logo, of course, but it's been adapted for the Conspiracy Series as you can see here

The first three guitars in the series are the aforementioned Stardust, the '71 Starling, and the '71 SD, which is the Stevie D signature model. Pricing starts at $1099 for the Stardust, the '71 Starling is $1199, and the '71 SD starts at $1249. Additional fan packages that contain extras like signed guitars, VIP Meet and Greets at Buckcherry/Josh Todd and the Conflict shows, and more. 

Pre-orders are open for a limited time, so check them out here. There are many different payment options available, and there's a bunch of extra information at the Conspiracy Series Facebook Group.

The guitars are absolutely killer, and I'm proud to have my name on them. I think you'll dig 'em, too.
