Introduction
Guitars shaped like Game Boys, cardboard Strats, stringless digital contraptions… we've seen some weird guitars in the past 12 months, but these movie-inspired custom creations from London-based luthier Devil & Sons are equal parts artwork and instrument.
Films including Mad Max, Terminator, Alien and Star Wars have all served as inspiration for artist and musician Daniel Wallis, who runs Devil & Sons and promises plenty more are on their way.
Some of the inventions you'll see are made up of hand-painted sculptures applied to existing guitars, while others use unconventional materials for their bodies.
Over 100 hours of work go into each of the one-off pieces
Of the process, Daniel says: “The hand-painted additions on the guitar bodies are a mash-up of hacked and customised vinyl or resin model kits and hand-sculpted parts that make these instruments bespoke creations.
“Over 100 hours of work go into each of the one-off pieces, which will go on to find homes where they can equally be displayed as artworks or played as instruments.”
Either way, they look pretty amazing to us – flick through the gallery for a closer look at these incredible instruments…
Devil & Sons Mad Axe
While we've come up with our own suggestions for guitars that film's infamous Doof Warrior might like to play, we reckon he'd be pretty pleased with the light weight headless design, given his long playing stints on the move.
