Guy Builds a Flamethrowing Guitar, Because Why Not?

You know what was cool about ‘Mad Mad: Fury Road’? Everything. But you know what was really cool about ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’? Everything The flame-throwing guitar that followed everyone around, providing sick pump-up jams. And just when you thought that cool stuff could only exist in movies, UK inventor Colin Furze went ahead and built one IRL.

Yes, it’s as batsh*t crazy as it sounds.

Furze, who says he has “no musical ability”, but “wants to rock”, built the guitar as part of ‘America’s Greatest Makers’, a program run by IT company Intel. In a making-of series of videos, Furze shows you just how he put together the nuts-as-f*ck project. We would like to remind readers not to try this at home, and leave the pyrotechnics to the pyrofessionals.

The flame-throwing shredder is built from a white Les Paul, and as well as the guitar the video features a bass guitar that Furze built a smoke machine and strobe lights into.

Furze has a track record of building crazy projects, and he as previously constructed a homemade hover bike, a jet-powered bicylce, an automatic set of Wolverine claws, a bed that ejects you when you need to wake up and a thermite powered kettle. So, crazy is just his thing. Somehow we think he’d be fine in even the baddest of badlands.

Check out the video below to witness the madness…
