"This guitar was from the first run of Epiphone Phantomatics that we made available to the public. “Dead Mickey”, named for the decapitated Mickey Mouse I made and affixed to it, became one of my main guitars for the World Contamination Tour until she was smashed on stage and decommissioned. Appears on My Chem Live at XFM, MTV’s Live in Valencia Spain, MCR iTunes performance live in London (one of my favorite shows I ever played as well as one of my favorite live recordings we ever made [Available on itunes!]. Some shows while you’re playing them you think to yourself, wow, this is a special one, I’m gonna remember this forever. This was one of those shows), and many other live shows." - Frank
