Ben Bruce's Gear
In this video Ben Bruce shows his Ibanez signature model, basically Ben adds his own design to the guitar like the british flag.
The guitar was played in music video of A Prophecy, the guitar is visible in the 3:27-3:29 mark
This guitar used to be Ben Bruce's main axe (take note of the tone knob, Ben doesn't have one in his signature BBM guitar) Also, you can see that there are extra holes in the guitar (where the pickguard should sit).
My best guess is that it's a Prs Custom 22, it could be a 24 but from my research it seems like the 22 is the better call. You can get a better look at it around the 2:50 part when Ben begins to sing. You can see the number of knobs, the style of the fret board and head stock, as well as the pick ups all pointing to it being a Prs Custom 22. There is another live video with him using the same guitar but this one give you a better look at it.
