Vic Fuentes
Vic Fuentes' Gear
Vic played this guitar in Vans Warped Tour and still plays it. Its pickups are Seymour Duncan that were in it when he found it and he added stripes to it together with his guitar tech as a tribute to Van Halen. “I found this in a pawn shop with my guitar tech Johnny [Meyer]. We just saw it sitting in the corner and we were like, ‘Woah, what is that?’ I picked it up and it just felt like it was bouncing back at me whenever I played it and it really had a lot of resonance. It just felt right." Vic said in an interview for total guitar, later adding: “So I bought it that day for $800, pretty cheap, and then took it home and we put it on the bench. We made sure everything was working right and then I just took some electric tape at Johnny’s house and this was the first design I did on it. It came out kinda cool so it’s just been on there ever since.”
Vic can be seen playing one of his Taylor SB1-X guitars. He has been seen using four, each with different pickups and finishes. Three have solid paint jobs (green, orange, and white), while one has a custom green slime paint job. That guitar can be seen in Pierce the Veil's "King for a Day" music video.
