Those are great, I love the moose antler, and did not know Brian May made his guitar from fireplace wood.

Here's one coming to me very shortly from a fellow in the UK. Not this one, but mine is red also.

Old petrol cans. He has more.

Pretty cool guitar, that ^
But probably won't be the guitar you ignite on stage?

I thought I read that the CITES agreement now includes old fuel containers... (ok, that was a joke.. but part of me seriously wonders what the EPA would do if they were staffing the customs shed??!!!)

The cool thing is you can make an electric out of anything that can hold tension of strings, and a pickup. Now if they made those sound like an acoustic. I'd be Really, REALLY impressed

Here's a few vids, one electrified, the other acoustic of the "Petrolian", as it is now known. http://petrolian.wordpress.com/ Sounds pretty good acoustically, nice dirty resonator sound.

The Afri-cans are cool, but way too clean and shiny.
