Our custom shop created a “green” guitar for Guster's Adam Gardner. The body of
the guitar is crafted from Forest Stewardship Council certified wood, nearly all
of the hardware and electronics are made from recycled or salvaged parts, even
the exterior finish and paint were chosen for their low toxin emission.“I’m so
excited to have another aspect of our shows be green!” says Gardner. “What a
cool way to demonstrate to fans that you can rock and be environmental at the
same time.”

First Act announces the new Bambusa guitar. Several eco-conscious elements went
into the design of this guitar. The Bambusa guitar’s body and neck are
constructed of bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants in the world, and an
uncommonly renewable resource. In its processed state, bamboo is harder than
maple, making it a supreme-sounding and killer-looking substitute for high
quality tonewoods. The guitar also has a water-based natural matte finish, and
uses food safe glue.
“It’s a guitar you can rock out with, and feel
good about playing. It feels so good, like you’ve played it a thousand times,
but it has a ‘sizzle’ to it’s tone that you’re hearing for the first time.”
says Craig Small, Director of Product Development.
