Pretty cool for what it is, but fuck that price. The shell casings make interesting rivets.

I'm considering a long term steam punk guitar project, but mostly for decorative purposes.
 
I like the concept, depending on the music one plays. The price puts it out of my interest, as do the bullet casings. I'll give points for originality, though.
 
I like the steampunk type theme and it looks like a pretty useable guitar. Price makes that fact irrelevant for me.
 
I could see this as a prop for a Yousei Teikoku video. Otherwise I don’t get it.
