Star Wars Instruments

The Guitar2-D2 Looks Just Like the Famous Robot

— July 29, 2012 — Art & Design
There are so many diverse fans of Star Wars, even those that love to rock out on the guitar, which is why Doug created the Guitar2-D2. This instrument was handcrafted to show his devotion to the films.

The guitar looks exactly like the famous R2-D2 character from Star Wars. Custom built, the face of the guitar has all the same detailing as the famous robot. Turn it over and you'll find the same.

On Geekologie, Doug states,"I've avoided spreading this link around simply because it's mine and don't want to seem self-righteous. Then again, it's pretty f***ing awesome, and so am I."

Maybe next time he'll come up with a C3PO-inspired saxaphone. One can only hope.
