Recycling is the new ROCK and ROLL

I went to a music shop yesterday and purchased a pack of guitar strings and couldn't help being tempted by the new guitars dangling vertically side by side...Yamaha, Alvarez, and Taylor. The salesman started getting into his “big pitch” when I had to politely interrupt and confess that I had four guitars at home and had recently sold one on Ebay. I had no business buying another one. As with everything else in my life I wondered does anyone sell recycled guitars? We all know there are used guitars for sale, but what about a guitar made from recycled materials? Well, his name is Simon Lee. He is located in London and below is his website. These guitars are made from vending machine coffee cups, ground up CD/DVD s, plastics from food production, domestic bottles and more! This website is very easy to navigate and quite interesting. Simon is a true artist with a cause. I love that all of his left over materials are given to artist and schools for them to use in their recycled art programs. Even if you are not a guitar enthusiast it is fun to see an earth friendly guitar, one that has not been made from endangered hardwoods used by other manufacturers.
