I walked into his shop at Augusta and Western while waiting for my friend who teaches at the school next door. He builds guitars and basses out of crazy junk. Like this:
Ah yes, the old satellite dish guitar.
I didn't have the time to try any out, though i did buy a Bellari LA120 tube compressor/limiter for $60. Has anyone played one of these before? Of course he assured me that I would not find a better playing guitar for my $1500 than the Church Ghost:
The body is made out of wood pipes from an 1800's church pipe organ. Apparantly one of the dudes in Queens of the Stone Age owns a similiar one called the Christocaster. He was also very toasted when I went in, so he wasn't very cognizant answering questions about his gear that he built.
