Travis Stevens reworked a Fender Stratocaster copy into this colorful tribute to the coming zombie apocalypse. The axe features real bullet casings, a fake grenade, and a sort of bas-relief of a zombie horde breaking through a barrier.

Uprising? Don't fret
The maple neck's inlays feature brass bullet casings and a skull at the 12th fret. Perfect for heavy-metal finger tapping.
