Columbian musical instrument manufacturer Luis Alberto Paredes has begun a brand new and totally kickass program in which he is using former guerilla AK-47s to create a new series of rosewood electric guitars. Paredes said that every single musical axe will be made from a once-used fully automatic rifle.
"This used to hit a target at 800 meters (yards)," Paredes said holding up one of the guitars which still has a Kalashnikov rifle's distinctive, banana-shaped magazine. "Now the target will just depend on the concert stage."
Now the musician and instrument creator is working with the UN to receive decommissioned AKs which have had all of their moving parts welded together to stop him from using them on dogs, cats and his groupies. And now musicians from across Columbia have announced that they're going to use Paredes' odd creations in a live concert that will help promote peace and possibly safe gun use, but we're only guessing about the second part of that.
