Between being literally made of metal, and having one string, that piece of railroad track is probably the most metal guitar ever.

It thrills me to no end that the first solid-body electric in history has now had Master of Puppets played on it.

it kinda looks like a Rob Scallon Signature Guitar made in the 1940's.

My college choir director told us a story about meeting Les Paul. When he was at Juilliard, Les came to play a show. My choir director, being obsessed with Les Paul, struck up a conversation. He mentioned to Les that he heard a low thump in the end of one of his songs and wondered what it was. Les looked at him mortified and quietly admitted that he had knocked over his briefcase during the recording but he played the song so well they kept the take.
