Shovels, microwaves, games consoles, skateboards… People will make guitars out of anything these days - including, it seems, shotguns.
In the video above, Indiana's Big Damn Band guitarist Rev. Peyton shows off some mean slide licks before interrupting his playing to unload his 12-gauge on an unsuspecting box.
Rev. Peyton has called shotgun on the concept behind the three-string Guitgun, but it turns out the instrument was put together pickup designer Bryan Fleming, who also hand-built the pickup for the instrument.
Regardless, judging from the right Rev's reaction to the guitar, it seems happiness really is a warm gun.
