Shepherd of Fire: Kinetic Industrial Guitar Sculpture
"Forged from the ashes of dead machinery, reborn to command the room." ~ Enrique Del Angel
Shepherd of Fire is a fierce, one-of-a-kind welded steel and brass electric guitar sculpture that pulses with heavy-metal attitude and high-velocity engineering. Handcrafted in Texas by metal artist Enrique Del Angel, this striking piece takes its name from the legendary rock anthem, capturing raw horsepower and acoustic fury in a visual masterpiece. Built entirely from upcycled automotive and industrial remnants, it stands as the ultimate statement of dominance and creative fire.
Industrial Anatomy & Powerhouse Craftsmanship
Forged through high-heat manipulation, precision balancing, and flawless alignment, the sculpture structures heavy mechanical components into an iconic rock silhouette:
The Sharp Star Body: The aggressive, multi-pointed guitar body is masterfully framed and outlined with a continuous, heavy-duty motorcycle drive chain, giving it a rugged, armored profile.
The Electric Core: Suspended perfectly at the heart of the body is a complex stator ring assembly wrapped in raw copper wiring, intertwined with exposed transmission gears, bearings, and polished sprockets that evoke a mechanical powerhouse.
The Brass Neck & Spark Plugs: The sleek, high-fret fingerboard is structured with vibrant, polished brass rods, pulling the eye straight up to a sharp headstock crowned with authentic automotive spark plugs serving as tuning pegs.
The Hub Base: The entire vertical instrument is permanently fused to a massive, heavy-duty machined wheel hub pedestal base, providing substantial physical weight and perfect stability without the need for synthetic stands.
Premium Finish Built for High-Impact Display
To lock in the high-contrast textures, from the gleaming gold-toned brass neck to the dark, grease-free steel chain links, the entire sculpture is sealed in a premium, ultra-gloss automotive clearcoat. This commercial-grade coating provides total protection against moisture and rust, making it an extraordinary, conversation-starting focal piece for luxury home bars, executive office suites, or high-end man cave displays.
