Turning Gun into Guitar.



Bogotá street musician César López was inspired by a rifle-carrying soldier when he created the escopetarra, a gun made into a guitar.

The first escopetarra — a combination of escopeta and guitarra, the Spanish words for rifle and guitar — was born a few months later.

The model was part Winchester, part Stratocaster, and all López. The 32-year-old musician has long been involved in efforts to use music to ease the pain of violence in this war-ravaged country.
