I would be happy to ;)
It's a 1988 Hamer Diablo, metallic candy apple red (sooo 80's) with h/s/s
pickup configuration and a Hamer-Floyd Rose tremolo. The neck single coil
is twinned with a sustainiac (a controllable feedback generator-it's a
BLAST). Action is great. Bought it on ebay from an online-mortar/brick
guitar store. I contacted Adrian through a fan site, and he confirmed it
was his. He said he traded it and another guitar for a black Rickenbacker
which can be seen on his latest album cover (his band, not KC). I was
going to try and see if he would sign it for me, but the KC tour swings
through my city when I am out of town :(
Regardless, it's a great guitar. Sounds great by itself, the action is
smooth, but having this endless feedback with a Floyd Rose tremolo is just
soooo much fun.
If Mr. Brock hasn't tried a sustainiac-equipped guitar, get thee to the
nearest music equipment proprietor and give one a whirl!
