Guitar Made of Nails - Tetanuscaster

The band takes the stage and starts playing. On a stand, with a strategically placed backlight and a little fog, sits the Guitar Made of Nails. None of the band members - not even the lead shredder - acknowledges the guitar is there, but the audience sees it. Now near the end of the show and the audience assumes it's only a prop, but as you start playing the epic finale of your set, your lead guitarist picks up the Guitar Made of Nails, plugs it in and the crowd goes wild!

They take their most epic, blistering solo of the evening on this guitar and,m of course, "the crowd goes wild!" With the help of a carefully placed packet of fake blood, there is now blood dripping down their arm, all over the guitar and on the stage. No one will forget this show and you will truly have a one-of-a-kind, kick-@ss guitar that will never be made again, because it was too much freaking work.
Yes, it is fully functioning and can shred. Watch the video of it being made to see and hear it. All the nails are from my collection of reclaimed nails. Some are from recently made pallets and some are more than 100 years old!

Yes, you may get hurt playing this, but it is so worth it. DISCLAIMER: I and my company are not responsible for injuries sustained while using this guitar.

it's obviously ridiculous, but it seems less ridiculous when you learn it was made by a guy with a nail collection. What's that old saying? "when all you have is a nail collection, everything looks like it should be made out of nails" Maslow's Nail Collection is a pretty common cognitive bias.

Nailbomb humbucker
The Nailbomb humbucker is the perfect synergy of old-school and modern rock tones in a high output humbucker with Alnico V or ceramic options for the bridge pickup.

From hot, fat blues rock through to aggressive thrash, the Nailbomb explodes with a strong and commanding voice. Contemporary players will take advantage of the full bore reaction of the pickup on full tilt; older school players will enjoy the range of classic tones and response using the volume pot to clean up.

The default Alnico V magnet offers up a huge, deep bottom end with rich, throaty mid range and warm highs. The bridge ceramic magnet option adds more output, tightens the bass response and smoothes the mid range slightly with a brighter cut in the high end, whilst retaining the core voice of the humbucker.

The Nailbomb neck humbucker has a woody and bright character when used clean; add overdrive and the tone tightens up for a focused and precise attack.

Available in all our open coil and covered custom finishes.

I want one made out of nail crosses to play with my traditional black metal band.
 
Yeah it sucks but “tetanuscaster” is a pretty good name.

Seriously, how would you play that? You would have to fashion some kind of protective vest and sleeve out of sofa cushions or something.
