Smartphone cases that look cut from vintage guitars

[MarkRhodes]

This Japanese guitar maker is fashioning phone cases that make your mobile look like vintage instruments – and the internet is going crazy for them | Guitar World

>>>T. Sato, the man behind Moonshine Craft & Custom, has stumbled upon a winning formula for making cases compatible with Androids and iPhones. They look ultra-realistic, with each one costing around £50 (approx $67).Often complete with 'burst finishes and accented by the edges of pickguards, each one seems to be inspired by a specific guitar, with everything from relic’d Strats and Teles through to Gibson SGs and Les Pauls on the menu. There’s also a faded TV Yellow design, which just oozes vintage charm. <<<<<<

I like the SG.

"...The attention to detail is exquisite, with rusted screws and flaking paint on many. It's all real.."

I'm way past the point in my life when bullschlitz like this mattered. And real rust, flaking paint. I hate that. They should add a case queen version!

Ok, as a test, I'll show these to my kids and see if they know what they are.

I had one. It messed up my phone. Or rather I messed up my phone. My phone truss rod needed adjusting and I put a screw driver in the charge port and twisted. No bueno.

you should’ve slackened off the
screen brightness a bit first

I'm thinking of those "where the hell have left my phone?!" moments..
With one of those it'd be wearing a camouflage vest in the midst of all my old junk.

Great for guitarists with a vintage eye.
I should have a simple elegant black cover with chrome lettering: "Put the phone down. Pick up your guitar. Practice now"

Maybe that one will help keep perspective.

If you'd rather play on your phone than play on your guitar, there are always options.
