Flattus Maximus

Flattus Maximus, the iconic guitarist from GWAR, is known for wielding the Schecter Guitar Research Maximus, Cory Smoot Signature Electric Guitar. This custom instrument, crafted in Burbank, California, became an essential part of his performances. The guitar's significance grew after the passing of Cory Smoot in 2011, making it a rare and sought-after piece. A user-uploaded photo on Tumblr captures Flattus Maximus with this distinctive guitar, highlighting its importance in his musical arsenal.

Before his partnership with Schecter Guitar Research, Flattus Maximus used an ESP LTD MH-400 Electric Guitar. This photo shows a decent closeup of a promotional ad in which he wore it around New York.
