Guitars Shaped Like Guns: UPDATE

You might remember a post a few months back about Guitars Shaped Like Guns, in which I was unable to find a picture of Peter Tosh's M16 guitar-gun. Well, 'Collin' has got in touch, with the relevant pictures and the full story: "After his short-lived stint with The Rolling Stones, Peter got his solo career back on track. During his 1983 tour of Europe Peter unveiled a new instrument to fight against injustice. That instrument happened to be an early 70's Fender® Stratocaster® which he which he had carved into the shape of an M-16 rifle. When interviewed, Pete said of his new instrument: 'This guitar is firing shots at all them devil disciples. Music is my weapon to fight against apartheid, nuclear war and those gang-jah criminals.'"

I just saw that Guitar last week in Jamaica. Apparently it will be auctioned at the Flashpoint Film Festival in Negril Jamaica next month.

I guess Peter Tosh used it to "kill them with music" Bob Marley

Wicked guitar

He didnt do it to be cool.
It was a pollitical statement.
His message was so powerful the crooked "shitstem" of Jamaica assasinanted him on september 11, 1987. RIP
