Skeletar by Josh Rubin

Skeletar Horiz
Stuff like the Skeletar makes me consider starting a So Bad It's Good category. Created by Peter McGilton, this hideously genius guitar epitomizes Death Rock. McGilton's shop, Exotic Guitars, has over a dozen similarly incredible hand crafted designs and all of them are perfectly functional.
