Johnson Guitars USA Chicago Tommy Gun guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:

There something exceedingly tasteless about a guitar shaped like a gun, not to mention that it's the most appalling cliché. There's always some smart arse who comes up with the idea of a gun-shaped guitar as if it's never been seen before. It's a bit like the jokers who believe they are the very embodiment of wit and the first person to have ever thought of such a prank when they list an "air guitar" on eBay. Yawn...

This Tommy Gun guitar from Johnson Guitars looks to be a cumbersome beast. Note the pickup selector switch as trigger. Even that's not an original idea - see the Colt Peacemaker which has more detailed finishing touchs, although it's equally as obscene as this guitar.

    Don't knock them until you play them! The Johnson USA and Store Mel guitars all play great and are very quality instruments

    1. That may be the case nut personally I find the glorification of guns and weapons a little sick.
