[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] An American guitarist made a guitar from the ashes of his deceased maternal uncle and performed with it on stage.

According to the online media Unilad on the 10th, Prince Midnight, a guitarist from Florida, USA, made his guitar using the skull of his late maternal uncle Philip.

Midnight used to attend performances with his uncle, who introduced him to heavy metal during his childhood, and even played guitar himself.

However, Philip died in a traffic accident in Greece in the mid-1990s at the age of 28. Following Philip's will, the family donated his remains to the scientific community, and the remains were used for medical school classes for decades.

Later, the school expressed a desire to return the remains to the Midnight family. Since Philip's parents had already passed away, Midnight's mother was responsible for the remains. She decided to bury them but found it difficult due to excessive costs.

Midnight then suggested to his mother not to bury or cremate his uncle but to make a guitar instead. Although the family initially opposed the idea, after Midnight's persistent persuasion, he was able to create a guitar using his uncle's skull.

Midnight welded a metal rod to the spine and attached parts such as the guitar neck, pickups, volume knob, and jack to the leg and neck bones. He also attached red and blue wires. The result was successful.

Midnight said, "Since it's not a typical guitar, there are some drawbacks," but added, "The sound is good and it feels special." He continued, "Above all, it feels like I am closer to my uncle again," and "It really feels like my uncle is here."
