gnr guitarist bumblefoot needs a hand/foot




on may 12th of this year guns and roses confirmed that their new lead guitarist was ron "bumblefoot" thal, replacing guitarist buckethead , who had been with the band since 2000. up until just recently, bumblefoot played this unique guitar. the axe was built in collaboration with vigier , and it had become bumblefoot's main guitar. main guitar until recently that is. seems the guitar took a beating when bfoot took it out on the road for gnr's latest european tour, and now it's on the verge of being permanently retired. so, bumblefoot has turned to the masses for inspiration on what he's calling "foot guitar version 2.0". he's asking for "something new, something cool, something designed by you!" check out the invitation here .

Definitely one of the most unique guitars I've ever seen and I've seen quite a bit. I love how the wings fold out and collapse.

*LOL* that guitar is waaay over the top man. I can't imagine how it looks like on a stage performance.

Hang on while I tune my "foot" for a while.
