The body is over 20 years old, solid wood (medium weight) and has been abused over its life time. Finished in dark brown and black, this Stratocaster type body has been fully serviced, with very little surgery needed to make it healthy and completely functional again. It still has battle scars, dents, crackled paintwork (in places). It is not shiny and new or pretty – it is rugged. All I did was buff the paintwork with a mop. I love it!!!!!

The neck is a replacement and the headstock has been painted to match the imperfect look of the body. New machine heads have been fitted. The pickups are replacements and they sound very British (indie rock). The bridge pickup is tapped and can be switched via a micro switch near the 5 pole standard Stratocaster switch. The new scratchplate is a Fender type (screw hole positions are very nearly correct). A new complete tremolo bridge has been fitted.

As a nod to its past, the rear screws fixing the new tremolo cover are the original rusty ones.

Recycled Wood – Tele Style Guitar – Bone Nut

£250.00 UK Post Free – Contact for International Shipping. Cash on collection from North Devon £225.00.

The guitars well sell are made up of a combination of new and reclaimed parts. Our guitars are never perfect but they are great value and unique.

This guitar body is made from salvaged timber, pieces of recycled wood that were off cuts from the construction of a house roof and a piece from an old oak sideboard, constructed and shaped in our rat infested shed in North Devon.

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.

The neck is new and has been fitted with a bone nut.

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.
