Prisma Toledo Jazzmaster inspired guitar made out of old skateboards

guitarz.blogspot.com:





I came across Prisma Guitars quite by accident. I do love happy accidents. Prisma guitar bodies are made ( partially or wholly depending on the model ) of old skateboard decks and the results are amazing. They remind me slightly of Gibson's Zoot Suit from a few years ago only much more cooler in my opinion.

I particularly love this Toledo as it balances the line between whimsical and sober. It's a great take on the well known offset design. It's also the closest I'll get to a skateboard without fractures or contusions.

Custom Canadian Hemp Guitar. The Lowryder. ( Insert obligatory Bob Marley joke here )

guitarz.blogspot.com:







This is a unique take on sustainability in the guitar world. Hemp can be used for a lot of different products and has a very interesting story within the history of manufacturing and the industry.

This guitar is a good example of when a company can maintain tradition while embracing new ideas and materials.

Though the look of this guitar doesn't rock my world, it is made with quality components and I would suspect that it is quite a player.
