Lego Custom Made Guitar
The story behind this one is that an anonymous man named “Brad” created it for legendary guitarist Les Paul. But for the love of me, I couldn’t find out anything other than that. Shame because it looks amazing!
Steam-Punk Custom Made Guitar
Say hello to “The Villainizer” this awesome Steampunk inspired guitar is sadly a one-off made by Rhodes Jackson. With gauges, gears, pipes, welds, and a bunch of fake rust, it really does look like something out of the wild west.
Thor Rockmaster Guitar
Not only is this super nerdy Thor inspire guitar amazing, but it is also the only one on this top 10 that is mass-produced, meaning anyone can buy it! I think this is the one for me.
70’s Batman Car Custom Made Guitar
Everyone knows that some of the best guitars were made in the 70’s, and so this is where this 70’s Batman car themed guitar comes into it. With a very limited edition amount this is one must own for any true Batman fan.
Super Mario Custom Made Guitar
Words alone can not tell you all how cool I think this is. Made by someone who goes by the title “geeked out” in Australia it really is a showcase of just how good a custom-made guitar can be. Sadly who the real person is behind it will forever remain a mystery.
Anakin Fighter Custom-Made Guitar
This amazing Anakin Fighter guitar is made by Tom Bingham and is the first of 3 that are all made by him! Not only a fellow nerd but also one of the most talented guitar makers there is, with just about everything me makes going viral.
“B” Wing Fighter Custom Made Guitar
This amazing “B” Wing Fighter is once again made by the ridiculous talents of Tom Bingham who once again shows us how a basic toy that he bought from a car boot for £8 inspired him to make this. A man of many talents it seems, including car boot haggling!
Millennium Falcon Custom Made Guitar
Those of you that have been reading my silly top 10’s for a while now will remember this from my post “Top 10 Millennium Falcon Inspired Items” sadly you will also know that it was a one-off, but still very, very cool indeed. P.S it is made by Tom Bingham
Pac-Man Custom Made Guitar
If you don’t find this Pac-Man inspired guitar ridiculously cool then there is something wrong with you. Well made, hand-made and 100% playable it really is incredible.
NES Custom Made Guitar
What is so amazing about this super nerdy guitar is not so much what it is made from, but more the price! For one that is not much more than a budget guitar, you could have one that screams SHUP-UP-AND-TAKE-MY-MONEY like it was at a rock gig already!
