Actually, there was a luthier here in Colombia who took some of the
weapons from decommissioned paramilitary groups and turned them into
guitars as a sort of symbolic "swords into ploughshares" thing. A
number of big-name musicians here keenly took them up, famously
Colombian metalhead-turned-poprock-icon Juanes (who even took one on
his US tour, and was amazed that it somehow breezed through customs
with barely a second look while the utterly normal amplifiers were
scrutinized in considerable detail).
Maybe I can get one of those -- there oughta be enough decommissioned
weapons to go around! ;)
Cheers,
Carl
