Though Machine Gun Kelly will hopefully be kicking off a new era soon with upcoming album Born With Horns, the musician is celebrating the guitar that served him so well during Tickets To My Downfall with a one-of-one mini smokeable version.

The pink axe that was shown on the cover of last year's album and used at the accompanying live dates has been transformed into a much less musical version, with MGK putting it to good use in a new Instagram video. Soundtracked by latest single papercuts, Machine Gun Kelly sparks up the guitar which has the XX symbol on – a sign that signifies his 'everyone stands together' movement.

"I play guitar and i smoke guitar," MGK writes in the caption, while A Day To Remember's Neil Westfall responds in the comments: "I didn’t know guitars couldn’t get any cooler… I was wrong."

Yep, fair…

The guitar was made by lyda.rollitup, who shared the process behind its creation on Instagram:
