Chick is the lead guitarist of Scottish sleaze rockers Bad Actress, who attack every set with relentless energy and passion, and a clear inspiration from the golden age of 80's 'Hair Metal'.
The Guitar - A signature Raptor model, featuring the Bad Actress logo inlaid into the fretboard and Chicks signature 'lips print' on the body to contrast the white finish. A 5 piece multi laminate neck runs right through the full length, sandwiched between 2 Mahogany wings, seperated with slithers of Oak and Sycamore veneer. A single, hand wound, hot humbucker sits in the bridge position to provide the squealing harmonics that he implements perfectly in his solos. The strings are held in place by a Wilkinson WVS50Kii (a 2 point floating knife edge tremolo) and locking tuners.

Chick says:
"Mark and I got chatting last year, he checked out the Bad Actress material and I'd been eyeing up some of his guitars - the one that stood out to me was the Raptor. I really liked the size of the body, and it just looked like it'd feel nice to play. I knew straight away that was the one to go for.
We chatted a lot about spec and hardware, and the paint job and inlay which are really special to me. Mark just absolutely nailed it.
This thing is just addictive to play!"
