eBay of the day: Homemade magnesium guitar

Brian writes: "This is a bit special... He's not wrong. It's all handmade. The metalwork is magnesium alloy, melted down from an old alloy wheel. The wood is carved mahogany, and the single pickup slides up and down on two brass rails, controlled by the gear stick from an old tractor. The seller calls himself planecrazydude. Good work!
PS: I'm planning to change the way the eBay links work, in the hope of earning some cash from the traffic I put their way. If you have any strong opinions (or tips) about affiliate programs, please let me know.

And so, one man, in his garage, has managed, in a short time, to be more creative and innovative than Gibson, Paul Reed Smith, and Fender have been in the past 30 years.

BTW, what's up with the qksrv stuff? Is it already the beginning of the end?

Hi,

I'm using FireFox and none of the links on this entry work, neither the qksrv ones nor the complaint link.

Cheers,
Kevin

Link does not work in Aple Safari. Cool guitar, though. The prototype Stratocasters had movable pickup positions, too.
