Recycled Guitar Body – Recycled Wood

Rough layout of next salvaged wood guitar ready for the neck (then wire up the electrics and add a few strings).

Reused and reshaped, these discarded bits of timber gems have been given a new life. This means that the timber we use is now upcycled, repurposed and recycled. Each guitar is therefore unique. This body has bumps and dings and has an oiled finish.

Everything has been recycled

This one is made from salvaged pieces of wood that were off cuts from the construction of a house roof and a piece from an old oak sideboard.

All the electrics and pickups are from salvaged or broken guitars – the neck is from a brand new damaged guitar.

Salvaged Wood Guitar Bodies

We have begun making guitar bodies from salvaged wood.

Salvaged wood is basically reclaimed timber, wood that was used in construction and buildings or furniture. We reuse and reshape these discarded gems and make them into a guitar. This means that the timber we use is now repurposed and recycled. Each guitar we make is therefore unique.

The example below is made from salvaged pieces of wood that were off cuts from the construction of a house roof.

Each piece of timber was glued, doweled and clamped together and the guitar shape was drawn onto the face. The first part of the journey is documented below.

Busy day in the workshop…

Rough cutting out a guitar body made from recycled materials. Next step the chisels and sander, then carve out the neck pocket and pickup holes.

Neck pocket created and the body shape is more precisely shaped. No electric carpentry tools were harmed in this production. Next step cut out the pickup and control panel holes…

Fender Squier Body – #stratocaster #luthier #guitarbody #fender

These are the best bodies to build a perfect partscaster or upgrade you Squier Bullet. I have fitted genuine Fender Mexican necks to these bodies in the past and they are a superb combination as good as, if not better than a genuine Mexican Stratocaster. The general consensus is that SE bodies are made from Agathis, although some were apparently made from Alder.

This SE body is from approximately 2000 and has a few dents, bumps and scratches but still has its deep shine.

Body weight with strap buttons 2.012kg
Neck pocket 56mm wide (± 0.5 mm Deviation)
Thickness 45mm (± 0.5 mm Deviation)
Includes strap buttons

Semi Hollow Telecaster Body

Refurbished Semi Hollow Body

£40.00 Free UK postage and packing (International Shipping available).

This hollow Telecaster style body has been refurbished and is in great used condition. The body has a ‘f’ hole and is string through at the rear. Finished colour is yellow, black and red, with a slightly road worn look to it, covered with a gloss finish. More details here.

46mm thick (± 0.5 mm Deviation)
56mm neck pocket (± 0.5 mm Deviation)
Weight of body 1.14kg

All measurements are approximate.

The F Hole hollow body design will produce warmer tones than a traditional solid body guitar. This body is of modern construction and finish but with traditional aesthetics, routed to take a humbucker pickup in the neck and a standard Telecaster pickup at the bridge. The wood is of a lighter type but exceptionally robust.
