It would be nice to gather an easy accessible collection of funny instruments in one place. I was pretty impressed as I stumbled over this one, The C64-bass :lol:

I'm planning on turning a salad-bowl into a mandolin, if that counts.

Some really nice instruments here , I could have liked to try out all of them - except those in the vid from SBLS . :shock: ( hmmm- his lyrics are so sweet and peaceful - hmm )

Well, I took a Fender red cedar body (limited 1988 FSR "Awesome Wood Nature's Art Series"), cut it into stripes and carved a Native American Flute out of it.
(middle one on the stand!)

I did the same with an Eric Clapton Signature "Blacky" Stratocaster with turquoise fretboard inlays.
(on bottom of the stand).

The most upper one is supposed to resemble a "Blacky" with maple fretboard. I used the latter for the air chamber underneath the fetish!

All flutes are equipped with hidden "Inca Special Hot Rodded BlueTooth" active singlecoils inside the bore, driven by a AAA lithium/cobalt battery. The guitar straps are made out of reindeer leather with real and original Kiowa chief feathers (don't ask me where I got those from :shock: , but the retailer looked a lot like the guitarist in the "From Dusk 'til Dawn" video!) :lol:

The sound is transferred from the Inca SCs directly into your ears via bluetooth (cybernetic implants necessary!!).


Does that count, too??

Here's a picture of my personal "odd instruments" collection (only 3 so far but another three are inbound!!)

Smokin', that is some nice flutes ! You've proved your artistic abilities more than once , and I am really impressed :!:
Still I wonder why anyone would cut up a nice strat body (not to mention two! ), but I guess you were fascinated of the nice wood.... Anyway - the results are extraordinary !
