McSwain Guitars release the very cool Red White & Bullets limited edition guitar. Hand-made by artist, luthier & musician Stephen McSwain in a style he likes to call “functional art”…
“The Red White & Bullets was born out of my desire to see a guitar with an american flag that actually looked cool. Many have tried, most have failed… and this is my attempt. I painted and distressed the aluminum and fastened it to the top of the guitar. The stars are cut from aluminum plate and “riveted” with .357 magnum shell casings”.
