This is 'Lam Morrison' Thailands No1 guitar player. I saw him at the Rock Pub in Bangkok and he was pretty good. Check out his mad guitar!

Certainly a mad guitar. I wouldn't dare to call it pretty. :?

He's just copying Kane Roberts' guitar from when he played with Alice Cooper:

That guitar shot flames out the end too. :twisted: \m/

oooo. i remember that! didn't he once snap a guitar's neck in half? i can't remember if it was with ONE hand or just his bare hands, but still, i'd run away!!!
did a couple of good albums with the coop though, his most metal period.

I remember the guitarist in Robin Hytchc--k & the Egyptions had a rectangular guitar body with a cornflakes packet painted on it, that just looked wierd.

Heh, and I was just reading some news the other week about guitars made out of real weapons from decommissioned paramilitary groups in Colombia. Here's a link to a copy: http://www.mytelus.com/music/article.do?pageID=home&articleID=2169500&
Colombian pop-rockers Juanes and Shakira are getting some, apparently Santana and Paul McCartney have put in requests. The missus (who's from Colombia) and I are off to see Juanes in London in March, so perhaps I'll get to find out how it sounds :)

I couldn't quite tell from the published photo what kind of pickup(s) it might have, but it kind of cries out for a Warpig :)
