Bamboo guitar for Earth Day
The paradox is that musicians as a group tend to be pretty progressive and ecologically savvy and concerned -- until it comes down to their guitar.... They don't want to take the chance that they won't have the absolute best tone. It requires a little bit of education and it requires them to see the product. - C.F. Martin & Co. head of artist and public relations Dick Boak.First Act is unveiling a guitar made entirely from bamboo, a highly renewable resource, especially compared to some of the most popular woods used in instruments that can take hundreds of years to mature.
Dubbed the Bambusa, this guitar boasts a densely laminated bamboo body and neck, a water-based natural matte finish, and food safe glue.
Currently available through First Act's website for only $399, this environmentally-friendly guitar has a tone that makes it a keen substitute for instruments made from high-quality tonal woods, at a price that won't break your budget.
This Earth Day, why not do some research on this revolutionary instrument and see if the Bambusa is worth adding to your collection.
