I once saw a street performer with gold face paint, metallic gold painted clothes, and a gold guitar hero guitar. Pretty sweet.

For anyone who is interested, I am currently a moderator at http://www.scorehero.com and I specialize in modding/repairing guitar controllers. I have a thread called Guitar Modding 101 that has links on how to fix almost any problem and how to add more features if you wanted to: http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17492

Or offer it for free on craigslist, or send it to me to use as spare parts!

You could donate it to a local school or Pre School and they could use it in their dramatic play area! Young kids would love to make up a band! Considering Teachers pay for most the the resource in their classrooms they would be happy with the donation. I know I would!

Make a birdhouse. I saw a guitar-turned-birdhouse in a magazine.

This might be a bit much for you, but these folks managed to turn a Guitar Hero guitar into a working musical instrument:

I’m not familiar with the product but the supplied photo gave me these ideas:
If intact, fasten hooks to the back for an instant wall decoration. A younger recipient might like it personalised with stickers or photos of a fave rock star, or printed song lyrics, or an old vinyl record. Maybe a working clock assembly could somehow be attached to the space in the middle.
If the bow has actually snapped, the body of it could still make an awesome “face” (imagine eyes and a snarling mouth painted or glued on). Again this could be mounted for display. If there is some of the bow attached, a kid might use it as a handle to hold it in front of their face like a mask.
My 9 year old and I would have a ball trying!
