Zombie Apocalypse Guitar
Rock the undead and fight zombie hordes with this crazy custom guitar by Travis Stevens. This maple necked Strat style guitar has a distressed finish, bullet casings, a blood splattered pickguard, a grenade and zombies!
For the more guitar technical readers it also has: blocked tremolo, new active Seymour Duncan Blackout singles, shielded cavities, locking Fender tuners, mini toggle switch to activate jumpers on back of Middle and Bridge pickup (signal boost).
That’s some scary stuff. Yet another really cool custom made guitar from Travis (who also did the Lite Brite and Han Solo in Carbonite guitars). Kind of a Walking Dead homage there. But how does it sound? Let’s roll the videotape:
If you watch the video, he says that he’s going to sell the guitar. So we tracked down the eBay listing! (that link goes to ALL of his guitar listings). Starting bid if you want to buy this custom job is $749.

Ever wondered what would happened if you hollowed out an old junker acoustic guitar and put a light and a Lite Brite set on top of it? Well Travis Stevens (of Han Solo in Carbonite guitar fame) did just that. It’s totally playable- both as a guitar and as a Lite Brite game.
Due to the LED interior lighting and removing much of the wood to make way for the vintage Lite Brite screens, the guitar doesn’t put out too much sound with an amplifier. But with the amp, it rocks…gently. Change up the lights to fit the songs (can you guess what songs are shown above?) You probably want to hear (and see!) this thing in action…here you go video time:

Han Solo in Carbonite Electric Guitar
Geeky luthier Travis Stevens has created the world’s coolest guitar ever (of the week) with his Han Solo in Carbonite Electric Guitar. While Travis does make guitars like this to sell, you’re too late as Ben Moody (Evanescence, We Are the Fallen) already bought it! Also, he’s sleeping with your girlfriend while you’re at work. Sucks for you.
The guitar is made from maple, mahogany, and basswood carved into the iconic Star Wars imagery. Here’s a shot of the guitar in progress.
Here’s the man himself holding his creation:
That’s sick! Well done sir, and congrats to Ben for owning this (any vids of you playing it out there?!)
Han Solo in Carbonite Electric Guitar
Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Guitar Rocks
Guitars come in all shapes and sizes these days and some people are really pushing the art form. This beautiful homage to that scruffy looking nerf herder’s brief (if you consider the 3 years between Empire and Jedi brief) stint in carbonite comes from Travis Stevens, who built this frozen Han Solo guitar for Evanescence co-founder Ben Moody.
The design is pretty awesome even if the player will be more or less strumming Han’s groin area. Still, as custom guitars go, this is one of the cooler ones out there. But of course I love the original Star Wars trilogy more than most other things.
Travis also built the Millenium Falcon guitar that we featured a while back. The man sure knows how to make some cool Star Wars themed musical instruments. I can’t wait to see what he does next. Somebody already beat him to the punch with GuitaR2-D2, though.
