Jackson Guitars, the brains behind World of Warcraft and British metalcore stalwarts Malevolence have used the Download Festival stage to unveil a one-of-a-kind electric guitar.
It’s a dream guitar for many World of Warcraft fans, and features full-body artwork that depicts Thraiin – a Dwarf Paladin that had been customized by the guitarist.
Hall and the two firms worked closely together on the guitar’s design, the artwork meticulously crafted by Blizzard Entertainment’s in-house creative team.
“World of Warcraft and music are two of my favourite things,” says Hall.
