Photos: recycled guitars by Simon Lee

I think this is a great idea, a little on the expensive side though.
If they were a little cheaper I might buy one
Even my most expensive guitar was just slightly less in price.
But It is hand made to order and they are very cool, I think I might just
have to save up and get one!

please tell me this plastic recycled has good sound. I have a hard time believing it does.
The guitar whould be made and resonate with wood. wow.

It'd probably sound similar to a perspex guitar, doesn't resonate much but has massive sustain :-)

Here's an idea, why not use some completely natural product that doesn't require as much processing, and can be grown & regrown as a crop. Say, like wood?

doesn't really matter with the resonance as it's an ELECTRIC GUITAR shown there.

I like the idea myself, too bad alot of stumbleupon users tend to flame.

The guitars are freaking brilliant! I cannot play a guitar to save my life, but i do as hell appreciate the beautiful sounds that it makes.
But the funny thing is, Simon Lee lives a few roads behind my house! Now all i need to do is learn to play guitar!

I just saw,on the Ethical superstore website that these things cost 815 pounds!!! How is that ethical???!!! I was offered a second hand Gem77 for that! And I live in Amsterdam where everything is more expensive!!!!
