Gene Blank is the lead guitarist for the bands, My Mortality and LOURDS. His playing style draws influences from across the board, creating a heady blend of traditional blues chord progressions, power chord sequences, and simplistic strumming.
For Gene, we riffed on our sinewy Lola body, making it a bit thicker to meet the artist’s specs. The solid body is mahogany, with a single cutaway. The guitar is finished in rich ebony and accented with chrome hardware, including a Seymour 59 and Vintage Classic pickups. ‘Circling Shark’ inlays mark the ebony fretboard. A 3+3 headstock with Grover machine heads tops it off.
