Post pics of repurposed pinballs . These are guitars I recently purchased in Nashville TN made in Italy .
I know you would rather have the pinball but these are so cool . Even the lights work thru a 9v battery !

Interesting

Bummer that those look like they were nice (or maybe NOS) playfields, though.

Agreed.

Lot of times spares were used for all sorts of stuff including cabinets used for cabinets of other games. One of those I think I see some playfield wear

Even at Pinball Expo you could buy F14 and High Speed playfields for $50 by the pallet. It was hardly a thought to want an extra playfield back then.

I wonder if anyone has ever built a pinball machine out of cut up guitars.

Derail the guitars. Pinball cabinet can make good place to lock up valuables or something you dont want kids to have access to. Not robust as safe but convenient.

These look great… I made my own with a local luthier… he makes them to order too…

Luthier is amazing to work with if you want one, message me for more details or reach out https://instagram.com/citharaguitars
