Fear and Loathing

Many, many musicians/artists/free thinkers have been somehow shaped by the words and art in the 1971 book written by Hunter S. Thompson and illustrated by Ralph Steadman, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Thompson’s words were vibrantly brought to life by artist Ralph Steadman. When these two entities collided at the Kentucky Derby in 1970, Gonzo journalism was birthed. Whether you indulged in the depravities illustrated in the book or just laughed uncontrollable while imagining yourself in the midst, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas left a mark. It certainly did with me. McSwain has been fortunate enough to team up with Mr. Ralph Steadman to offer the first and only marriage of rock and roll guitars and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Hence we present to you… the Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas McSwain guitar line. We chose six different Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas prints and only ten guitars of each print will be made right in the McSwain Guitars shop in the heart of Los Angeles. Each guitar will be numbered, dated and signed by Stephen McSwain and Ralph Steadman. Mr. Steadman is dedicating each guitar to the client that purchases a McSwain Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas guitar on a certificate that will be affixed to the back of the guitar.
