This electric guitar is more used to having someone blast out killer rifts on it.
But the stringed instrument is clearly packing more than just power chords... after it was adapted to house a double-barrelled shotgun.
Police discovered the potentially lethal weapon after an anonymous tip-off about a horde of unlicensed firearms in Luleå, northern Sweden.
Did this belong to The Killers? The neck of the electric guitar was fitted with two shotgun barrels and it also housed a trigger mechanism
Two barrels: The improvised weapon was discovered during a police raid in Luleå, northern Sweden
A 54-year-old man war arrested after a raid at his house uncovered a sawn-off shotgun, a home made sub-machine gun, a Mauser rifle, two revolvers and a walking stick adapted to shoot like a rifle.
The man, who has not been named, told police: 'They are therapy to keep me off the drink,' according to Norrländska Demokraten.
The guitar was mounted on a wall and its neck had been hollowed out and fitted with two shotgun barrels.
A trigger mechanism had also been fitted to the body of the guitar, according to www.thelocal.se
The man described the musical weapon as 'a fun thing that was not finished'.
Stickers relating to three known gangs were also found at the house and police said they were investigating whether the man was buying and selling stolen weapons.
He faces charges concerning aggravated weapons crimes and receiving stolen goods.
