Will The Hippies Go For A Hemp Guitar?

Musical Equipment No comments »

Seriously, you'd have to be at least 80% hippie to want a guitar made out of hemp when there are so many great, inexpensive wooden guitars. Unfortunately, the hemp guitar made by Mada goes for the decidedly un-hippie price of €2,850.

From Treehugger: The guitar seems to have been designed because hemp is more easily molded than wood, but it also serves to create a more sustainable guitar. "Why hemp? The permanent transition from impact sound into airborne sound is essential to the sound. Thats how resonances are formed. This makes Hempstone® the perfect 3 dimensional molding material for music instruments. The material consists of 100 % hemp fibres and contains no plastics, which would close these resonance-gaps."
