Skate Or Die, Or Rock Out?

Just when you thought you couldn't see anything more awesome, along comes the Skatar.

A solid body Squier Jagmaster electric guitar completely playable. A few extra trucks from a skateboard and you get the Skatar.

"So I got all the parts for free, and since I already own plenty of guitars, I decided to add some trucks and wheels and see if I could skate it. The important thing for me was that it remain fully playable." - some dude.

You can see the steps he took here to create this machine of pure awesomeness.

Lift Your Goblet of Rock

Think you're rocking with the best? I don't think so....

At least not until you are rocking out with these bad boys.

And if you need a little more convincing, here's this one.

Why you would ever need a harmonica for any song played with that bad boy? It is an insult and a waste of pure awesomeness. That guitar alone could put the Gods of Rock to an eternal sleep.

Made from ESP Guitar Company, you can find a bunch of awesome guitars by them. Including one with Sharks on it. I don't even need to say more to tell you how awesome their guitars are. Plus Dragon Force uses them.

Speak n' Roll Dudes!

I know I'm good a Guitar Hero, but if I had this to rock out with, you'd have to buy a new car. Yes, a new car, don't ask how or why or in what way, just know that it would be a new car.

The Speak n' Spellbinder, made by this dude, who also made a bunch of other stuff with a technique called Circuit Bending.

For those who don't know what circuit bending is... Circuit Bending is taking pre-existing electronics, dismantling them, then rewiring them to create new sounds/things.

This is pretty much the coolest instrument I've ever seen. I can't decide if my favorite part is the Voltron head glued on the fret board, or the scenic desert pictured on the display of the speak n' spell.

The Speak n' Spellbinder features a full keypad on neck, glitch selection, tones, distortion, pitch, whammy, hold, and just watch the video for the full presentation.
