The body has 7-layer binding of alternating Pure White and Black while the Headstock and the pickguard have 5-layer Pure White and Black. The truss rod cover has the Gibson/Epiphone Bell-Shape with 2-layer (Black/White) binding and "Brent Hinds" in white. Lace Hammer Claw Pickups: To power his premier Epiphone Signature Model, Brent chose Lace USA Brent Hinds signature Hammer Claws Humbuckers which were designed by Brent to unleash a bright attack with a smooth midrange crunch along with balanced lows with highly responsive dynamics. Brent's Lace Hammer Claws pickups excel at all gain levels from clean to face-melting distortion. Controls are classic Black "Top Hats" with metal inserts and include individual volume pots for each pickup and a master tone control. Classic Epiphone Hardware: Brent chose Epiphone's legendary rock solid nickel hardware including a 1/4" Epiphone Heavy-Duty output jack with a 3-layer jack plate (Black/White/Black), a LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Traditional "V" tailpiece with a classic string-thru body design.
