This Dude Built a Guitar Out of His Dead Uncle’s Skeleton

the article is blocked by a firewall so I can't check this myself...

but how does one acquire one's uncle's ribcage?

do you put his body in a vat of acid until the bones are clean? Leave the torso in the yard and let birds eat it?

his uncle Filip’s bones had been around for over two decades before Prince decided to pay tribute to the man who taught him about the dark arts in the most metal way possible.

Ol’ Filip’s bones got quite a workout between then and now. Filip, who died way too young in a car accident, had requested his skeleton be donated to the local college where it was medically prepared and rendered, fulfilling a workmanlike role of educating students for 20 years.

But at a certain point the school no longer had a use for Filip, so he ended up in a giant wooden box. His family refused to cremate him, but Filip didn’t want to continue paying costly rent for the cemetery space. So he took matters into his own hands, filing, re-filing, and filing again a gauntlet of paperwork with the Greek government to repatriate Filip’s remainsm which Filip tells us was quite a complicated process.

gotcha

so the uncle donated the skeleton and the school did the hard part.

that's better than the nephew doing it himself.
