Colombian Parades Turns AK 47 Rifles Into Guitars

September 22, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Artsy Fartsy at 12:10 pm | (67) Comments »

Parades, a guitar craftsman in Colombia, has turned weapons into guitars. Parades has branched out from the traditional electric guitar making methods & has turned shotguns and AK 47 rifles into guitars.

The craftsman stated, “They used to hit a target at 800 meters (yards). Now the target will just depend on the concert stage.”

Cute and yet still a little scary.

[...] into axes In Columbia a craftsman is turning AK47s into electric guitars. This should work, as the body doesn’t have much effect on tone. And visually, for certain [...]

the pickup is at the bridge, single coil, as you can see there’s only one tone and one volume control on the magazine.
Joey Said,

June 13, 2009 @ 2:43 pm

the best way to get a guitar like, would be to hav a custom one made by esp. it’ll cost about 3 or 4k but it’ll be american made and wood, plus u can customize the pick ups and controls. trying to get one of those things through customs would be a bitch, and trying to find the guy even harder.
