The Apollocaster Guitar that has spent time on the moon.
A guitar constructed from parts taken from the Apollo spacecraft is as unique as it comes
If you want a guitar that comes with a piece of history then look no further than the Apollocaster Guitar, which quite literally has been to the moon and back.
The Apollocaster Guitar is a unique rocket-themed Tele-style guitar which was created by NASA scientists using parts from Apollo spacecrafts.
It was reportedly built by Ray Davenport Jnr, the Chief Mechanical Engineer working on the construction of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module.
Ray, who also played rhythm guitar in the NASA house band, One Small Step, built the Apollocaster during breaks between shifts.
However, he was fired in 1972 after NASA discovered he had been stealing vital metal parts for its construction.
The Apollocaster guitar is a dual humbucker Telecaster-style single cut, featuring an engraved pickguard design that resembles the parts board of an Airfix model for the Apollo 11 spacecraft.
