The Smash-Proof Guitar is a fully functioning instrument that aims to offer rockstars a piece of equipment that will easily withstand accidental drops or intentional wrecking.
Designed by Andy Holt and Sandvik, the guitar is crafted from a single piece of hyper-duplex steel using Direct Metal Laser Sintering, which helps to support the instrument at its weakest points. The hollow design of the guitar gives it a distinctly stylish aesthetic, while the fully-functioning profile means it's ready for use by musicians who are prone to smashing their instrument on stage.
The Smash-Proof Guitar has been tested by rockstars of all walks including Yngwie Malmsteen who have yet to render the instrument broken thanks to the ultra-durable design.
