The Nes Guitar

[wraggster]

Music man XOC, also known as Jason Cox, responsible for arguably the best video game cover album of ALL TIME, has made the penultimate sacrifice. Okay, not even close. But he did turn his original NES—the one he's had since age ten!—into a functioning guitar.

Now if it still also worked as a functioning Nintendo Entertainment System, that'd be something. Something impossible.

That looks great as I play guitar, is it for sale by any chance?

[ikarimaru]

Ha, I guarantee it sounds completely awful...

No worse than the Epiphone guitar the neck came off ;).

Yeah OK, I'm a guitar snob (looks lovingly at collection of Rickenbacker, Hofner & Gibson guitars :))

classic...

Haha! thats cool.
Dont know how a plastic guitar would sound, but by the looks of the Epiphone he just gutted, maybe it might sound ok

This seems like a really bad idea, unless some remnant of the body is buried inside the case. Not only would a plastic guitar sound bad, but I don't think the plastic case of the NES could stand up to the tension of the strings.

wanna hear how would a plastic guitar sound? go to www.megadrivers.com.br and d/l the mp3's generated by the guy with the SEGA Guitar

...and, hey, Megadrivers is around for quite some time, unlike that nes dude

-> for US residents: "Mega Drive" is the japanese name (also used in other parts of the world) of what was known in US as "Sega Genesis".
