10 Strange Guitars That Make You Want To Be A Rock Star

Dreaming of being a famous rock star is common. Almost everyone does it; whether it’s the people who play music video games like Guitar Hero or those who claim to be air guitar masters. In order to be a legendary rock star, you have to have a guitar that fits you and is above all, cool.

Some guitarists like to keep it simple with acoustic guitars. Others like to look more stylish on stage with an instrument that’s their favourite colour. The select few even like to cross the line of ordinary and use double neck guitars.

The following are guitars that have taken a giant step past that boundary.

Strange Guitar #1. Patriotic To The Tip

This creatively carved design is the perfect guitar to rock out on the Fourth of July weekend. Aside from resembling how the United States of America looks like on a map, the strange but cool aspect of this guitar is the finely carved and detailed eagle head.

Strange Guitar #2. For Those Who Love That Fluffy Feeling

Even though it probably feels extremely soft, this fluffy guitar just doesn’t look right. Lets hope no stuffed beanie babies were harmed in the process

Strange Guitar #3. Weird, Simple and Yet Interesting

These unique instruments resemble a banjo but they’re actually cigar box guitars. Along with creating a unique sound, they’re fairly easy to make!

Strange Guitar #7. An Ultra Guitar

Another invention used Steve Vai, the “Ultra Zone” guitar was built in 2001 by Alistair Hay of Emerald Guitars in Ireland. Finished in Triflash paint, the reptile-like paint job turns from gold to green to red (depending on how the light hits it).
