The Villanizer – Steampunk Guitar
As I said – a very good weekend for Steampunk contraptions – the above is the Villanizer Steampunk Guitar, created by Thunder Eagle Guitars. With pipes and guages and beautiful gears – amazingly she sounds as good as she looks! The creator modified a Rhodes Jackson V, copper plating some pickups, re-facing the guage, and adding some wonderful paint effects. The creator (thundereagle) even posted about it on The Steampunk Forum, explaining a little more about the guitar.
Thanks to the people who have pointed me in this direction today – Crabfu, Tom, BoingBoing and Mr Libertino. What a beautiful beast, and I shall quite envy the lucky person who emerges battered,bleeding and victorious from the upcoming Ebay auction for it.
