It was used during the writing of The Stage and continues in use. The guitar was built in a backyard over weekends Forest was allowed to leave the midnight mission on skid row he was left living in after a fire destroyed his apartment and all of his belongings except 1 guitar which is not publicly shown.

In fact, Shadows says, he wound up writing much of Avenged Sevenfold’s latest album, the just-released The Stage, using Young’s guitar. “It has a great, nice, warm tone that I found pretty comforting, I guess, when I was writing.”
