It's made of metal. It plays metal. It's all around very, very metal. It's a guitar made out of a shovel.

Described as "a shovel with a string on it and an active EMG [pickup]," this DIY guitar made from a household gardening tool belongs to musician Rob Scallon. The music video "Shovel Metal" (above) tells the age-old tale of a man who decides he'd rather use his shovel for rocking out instead of shoveling. Genius!

For those about to rock, we salute you! Fire!
