In the Bender’s case, inventor “Dan” has stripped out all the bits that made this a guitar, and then replaced them with sound board bits. The result is this “weird sound generator” that he can also play using a hand-made motherboard pick guard. Maybe he’ll be in touch with a few solo videos so we can hear how this thing sounds. Easy bet: Guitar Hero at 11.
