It’s got a cool green color, a big pick guard, and a slanted pickup. Apparently it’s available in black as well.
The pickups are Burns Tri-Sonic and the tremolo is Wilkinson tremolo. According to Sparrow it has maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard as well as a volume knob and a tone knob.

Hey there,
Thought I’d leave a quick comment about this guitar. Sparrow is currently building 4 of these for the von Drats.
These guitars play like a dream!! Can’t wait until we have these on stage with us!!!
Thanks for the comment, Dave!
That’s very cool, let us know how they work out. Are all 4 guitars identical?
They are full custom models. Individually tailored for each member
