Did you know it was National Taco Day yesterday? Andrew W.K. knew and he was partying in the future with his custom-made taco guitar.
The rocker has been hard at work on hand-painting his very own custom guitar, created by ESP Guitars and hand-painted by Andrew W.K. himself. The result of a four-year project, it’s everything you expect from a hearty taco bursting with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and beef. Glad there’s no sour cream!
It’s all been a part of his quest to discover the most “party” thing in the world. “I started pondering, what’s another food that’s as party as pizza? When it comes to edible celebration, tacos are partier than almost anything else,” W.K. said. “Pizza and tacos are among the partiest foods on the planet, and I realized that since I had paid musical tribute to pizza, I now had to pay musical tribute to tacos. I was destined to make a taco shaped guitar – it was inevitable.” But the taco isn’t the only eye-catching detail on the guitar. On the other side, Andrew has painted an eerily realistic blue eye, staring out into the blind side.
Andrew is currently finishing up a new album, which is projected for release on March 2 in 2018. He’s also currently traveling around the world on his The Party Never Dies tour, which made its last stop in Texas.
