2009 TTM Guitars Devastator

Description

A shredder’s delight at a remarkable price. I don’t know they do it, but TTM imports their parts but then custom builds their guitars in the USA and puts them out on the street at prices that are comparable to regular imports. You can custom order any parts your heart desires – it all depends on how much you want to spend. This guitar is stock with perhaps the top being the only upgrade, but you can order this same guitar with Sperzel tuners, Wilkinson trem, EMG’s, etc. This model, and the brand in general, is aimed at hard rockers – the harder the better – and the have a client list of some very big name shedders. Beautiful looks, with a perfectly bookmatched quilted maple veneer over a bound basswood body, it features a pair of very hot humbuckers that actually sound very good, 5-way pickup selector, 24 medium jumbo frets, bound maple neck with rosewood board, fretboard inlays that spell D-E-V-A-S-T-A-T-O-R, reverse headstock, and Wilkinson tuners. The fit and finish on this guitar is excellent. Check out the neck fit (click here), which is as tight as a set neck. You couldn’t fit a cat hair between the body and neck. Click here for a few reviews from guitargearheads.com and for a good YouTube demo,click here to see a young dude absolutely wailing away on his Devastator. Is this guitar as good as a USA Jackson? No, but it’s 80% as good – and at 25% of the price. I would love to try out one of their more upgraded models but for the money, you’re not going to beat this for a very heavy metal axe. Just $399 for a guitar that was actually built in America. Amazing.
