Rob Barrett

In this video from Godlyke Distributing, the rythym guitarist of Cannibal Corpse Rob Barrett is seen playing his custom, one-of-a-kind Dean Cadi-KILL 6 string signature guitar. The paint job was created by Mike "Pooch" Pucciarrelli using with acrylic paint and brushes onto his limited edition Cadi-KILL guitar. It was supposed to be used to record the "Kill" album but the headstock cracked on the way to the studio so he used one of Pat's guitars, the Cadi-Kill was eventually repaired.

Played this guitar during his early years with Cannibal Corpse and was used on their fourth album "The Bleeding". It also appeared in the Ace Ventura movie. It was sometimes used live for C# songs during his second stint in Malevolent Creation and also HatePlow too but he mostly used his 2 Les Paul's during that time.

At 7:45 in this video, Rob Barrett shows his 1989 Les Paul Standard. It has a Charvel passive pickup in the neck and an EMG 81 in the bridge. It was used on Retribution (Malevolent Creation album), Vile, and all the C# Standard Malevolent Creation and HatePlow songs. It's now retired but still gets used for rhythm tracking on Cannibal Corpse albums.

Rob used this guitar on one song on the "Kill" record, practiced with it during the recording of "Evisceration Plague" and most of the time used it on the B Standard tuned HatePlow and Malevolent Creation songs along with the Les Paul Standard used on the "Vile" album for the C# Standard songs.
