C. C. DeVille is best known as the lead guitarist of the American glam metal band Poison. He has also acted in both reality television and television drama shows.
A fun side note is that in 2004 Guitar World gave C.C the tile of Worst Guitar Soloist of All-Time.
Seeing as the whole VH1 Rock of Love show has reignited the band Poison, let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in C.C. Deville's guitar rig. As always, feel free to add to the list (leave a comment).
