The Story Behind Shepherd of Fire
Some sculptures whisper.
Shepherd of Fire was never meant to be one of them.
Built from the remains of machines that once created their own kind of noise, this guitar brings together motorcycle chain, gears, sprockets, copper windings, spark plugs, brass, and a heavy wheel hub into something that looks ready to make an entirely different kind of noise.
The motorcycle chain forms the aggressive guitar body. Copper windings and mechanical components fill its center. Brass forms the neck, while spark plugs become tuning pegs.
Every part once had another job.
Now they belong to the band.
Inspired by the energy of heavy metal and named with a nod to Avenged Sevenfold's Shepherd of Fire, the sculpture is simply a celebration of music, machinery, and the creative fire that can turn one into the other.
Forged from the ashes of dead machinery, reborn to command the room.
