as featured in BGM this month.

Really digging the look, unfortunately it would be impossible (as in "prohibitively complex and expensive") to get one done by him!

Any other lovers or haters?

I wonder what doner instruments he is using

Very Rammstein!

I love it as a usable bit of art. I appreciate the attention to detail. 10/10

A bit impractical and difficult to use though, I would prefer a less extreme relic maybe.

I love the Steampunk look. Those guitars are amazing looking!

very weird but cool, never really imagined a steampunk guitar, although i could somehow see Les Claypool having one LOL

do you think they'll have much of a sound with body parts cut away and bits of "scrap" attached?

I was tempted to try steampinking my bass when I stripped it, but knowing me, I would have ended up with a pile of scrap & firewood!

They look great.

I think I have found my spiritual home....
The whole collection is gorgeous and yes someone should send a link to this site to to Messrs Kruspe and Landers.

Here's a home studio to record it on...

Are those BFM steampunk Omnis ?

Interesting but it is too complex for me...

It makes me think to Jules Verne, or closer to nowadays Caro & Jeunet's universe.

I really like the home studio

Welcome to the "enhanced" XIXth century...

They remind me of the Pompidou Centre in Paris:
