Man turns dead uncle's skeleton into a fully functional guitar

Loading player...
This is undoubtedly a front runner for the most bizarre story that you will hear of in 2021. If you are someone who considers yourself to be open-minded and you still feel that way after reading this story about a man named Prince and his late uncle Filip, tell us how!

Prince Midnight (what a name!) has paid tribute to his deceased uncle in the most unorthodox way. He has done so by turning the skeleton remains of his uncle into a fully functional guitar.

Yes, you are reading that correctly.

As hard as it may be to imagine, there is actually a really endearing story behind the 'Skelecaster'.

Uncle Filip passed away more than 20 years ago as the result of a car accident. After his death, his skeleton was donated to a local college in Greece, where it was used for educational purposes for two decades.
