Handmade PS-2000 made in 2001. Poplar body, with maple neck. 2000 rhinestones, and 40 blue LED lights. The lights have 3 settings and various speeds. Joy bought all the parts for fathers day in May 2001 and I finished the guitar in July 2001. The LED lighting and controller was custom designed and built by KatHouse Productions.

I wanted a special effect stage guitar for Deuce with lights that did a chase effect around the body. So I made a PS 2000 body and got a carvin neck and put over 2000 rhinestones and the mirrored pieces on it. John and I got together and I told him the idea about the lights, and he ordered 40 blue led's and then created the electronics to operate the lights. It has three settings that does a variable speed chase, a random pattern and a random pattern with a backround scene. It was started in May of 2001 and was completed in July. It is used for 90% of the second set of all Deuce shows .

The controller and 40 LEDs uses a special energy efficient design and runs off a single 9 volt battery. This guitar has been used at every Deuce show since it's completion and almost two years later is still running on the original 9 volt battery. The LEDs are directional making them EXTREMELY bright and are visible even in daylight when viewed head on. When used with a fog machine the beam from each LED makes a cone of light which is plainly visible and looks very similar to a group of blue lasers firing in sequence. There are some videos and photos of this guitar in action at the Deuce web site.
