Custom Electric Guitars: Fireplant Guitars Splitsville

The Fireplant Spiltsville is a hybrid beast of a Flying V and the Fireplant FP-1. Customized with the FP-1 "devil horns" and the V body, the Splitsville shouts in your face and crushed audiences with attitude enough to pummel the whole arena. The Fireplant FP-1 started everything for us, and the WMD-V was the evolution we had into the world of the Flying V. But the Splitsvlle... the Splitsville is just a beast. If you can handle having every eye on you at every show til the end of time, our custom Splitsville electric is the guitar for you.

The Splitsville is a Menacing
Custom Electric Guitar

When we first designed the Splitsville, we kinda stepped back from it. It kinda scared us. "That is one mean motherf*cking guitar, man." I mean, it really intimidated us. It looks just as much like weaponry as it does a custom electric guitar, which is why we knew it would catch on... at least with the right demographic. More importantly, though, it's definitely the type of guitar that you either want or you know you can't handle. Some guys can pull it off on stage, and other guys would just look out of place with such a monumental beast of a custom guitar.

To test the Splitsville, we debuted it at Maryland Deathfest in 2010. We had a couple of them made for the guys at Deatheest to raffle off to some very lucky metalheads, and we had them displayed along with a couple of FP-1s, just to gage the reaction from the death metal demographic. They all liked the FP-1, but the Splitsville was received just as we expected: some people seemed afraid of it, and everyone else looked at it like aliens had finally come back to pick them up and take them home.

"Dude... that is the sickest guitar I've ever seen!" was probably the most-common reaction by the fans.

The Splitsville Custom is an Evolving Creature

Part of the appeal of the Splitsville custom is the unique, menacing shape of it, but it was still just a little "too metal" even for some serious metalheads. In the most-recent evolution of the Splitsville, we added in a cream body binding to brighten it up a bit and add a bit of class to it. Now it's kinda like a badass muscle car done up to look nice, but you know there's still a gigantic big-block engine under the hood, waiting to suck your doors off.
