"Hey Hector, it's Matt Heafy, singer and guitar player of the multi-platinum metal band Trivium," he said in a video. "Drew told me you love blasting our music while you're out delivering in your community, so Drew and I got together to put together a special surprise for you. It's something a little bit like this thing right here, a Gibson Les Paul in ebony. This is the one I use, yours is going to look pretty much like this. I've been using these things for a couple years, I hope you love it as much as I do!"

In the video's comments, Matt then later added: "Thank you for having me on the show! Thank you Hector for bringing happiness to your community!"
