Joe Trohman on being asked about his WI-26 signature model- "I use my signature guitar. Where to start on it, man? I spent a lot of time kind of putting it together. Aesthetically, it’s a pretty simple design. It’s based off the Idol. But, it’s a much thinner body. It’s not thick like the custom shop Idol. But, it’s still quite a durable guitar. I tried smashing it the other day at a “one-off” show."
