In keeping with the Earth Day spirit, here is an article / press release from First Act on their new Eco Friendly guitar: The Bambusa. I don't know much about the quality of First Act guitars having never played one, but this guitar does look quite nice. In addition, construction of this guitar with a very renewable source like bamboo is a welcome addition considering the supply of classic guitar making woods like Brazillian Rosewood is becoming very scarce. Let's hope this begins a tradition to more responsible guitar construction and material usage.
New York - April 21, 2008
First Act, an innovative music products company, has unveiled the most eco-friendly electric guitar on the market, The Bambusa. The guitar is crafted from bamboo, one of the most renewable natural resources on the planet.
First Act's Bambusa is the only guitar of its kind and is available through First Act's website (http://www.firstact.com) and select retailers ($399.00 MSRP).
The company has taken a new approach to confronting the growing scarcity of old growth hard woods traditionally used in guitar production. In a revolutionary break from the past, no wood at all is used for the body and the neck of the Bambusa. Rather the instrument is made of densely laminated bamboo, which, combined with its water-based natural matte finish and food safe glue, makes it the "greenest" guitar on the market today.
In the Bambusa, First Act luthiers created a gorgeous guitar with spectacular tone and playability that is also an environmentally friendly instrument.
