Modest Mouse Guitar?

[Dave]

I saw the SNL rerun featuring Modest Mouse.

Anyone know what kind of guitar the singer plays? It's kinda PRS-ish with a M-somethin' in the headstock inlay.

Here's the logic-Wife likes song-wife likes guitar riff-wife likes band-wife likes me...


....therefore-I can get another guitar...

It's not a Framus. I can't get a good enough picture of the headstock to read it, but it looks like it starts with a K, or maybe and H. Plus, it has the wrong truss rod cover and no headstock inlay. The best I could find so far is this picture:

as a fan of modest mouse, due to the fact that my roommate in phoenix blasted the cds (lonesome crowded west and a long drive for someone with nothing to talk about and making nothing out of something) in his room all day everyday. i was turned into a fan. at first i hated them. anyway i feel ashamed that i dont know what guitar isaac brock uses. i remember guitar world had float on tabbed in the back. they mentioned the guitar isaac used, saying how he did vibrato effects by manually moving the bridgepiece with his picking hand. if anyone has this mag laying around its in there!!
it might be guitar one......but u think it was guitar world

The guitar he plays is a completely custom built one by Brian Wicks. Brian has made a couple guitars for him. Its wierd that some small town guitar guy would end up making something for Isaac Brock

It looks enough like a PRS that you ought to be able to fool the wife - go for one of those.

A custom by Wicks guitars....not cheap. Customs begin around 3500$

Yeh, just tell her it's the same guitar, just a slightly different/more custom/more unique, model. Let her know that it was $1000 less and she'll love you even more.
