Yamaha Upcycling Guitar Initiative

I know that some will view this as a marketing stunt, but I will commend those at Yamaha whom chose creative ideas. This is a clever solution for waste, and will produce unique results that would not be seen without this approach.

I find this neat, this is why I post this.

“We may be able to make good-sounding instruments out of any material”: Yamaha’s Upcycling initiative turns scrap instrument offcuts into one-of-a-kind guitars – and it could transform the guitar-building industry

Using surplus material from its piano and marimba instrument production lines, Yamaha has assembled three 'upcycled' guitars

I'm not going to get too excited until they also include recycled wood toilet seats, but that's just me.

That would be the shit!

That brown/red Revstar is gorgeous. Shame these weren't out when I was in Japan. I might've been tempted...

I wanted to 100% your post but was "torn" (not "torn" in the sense of a torn bowel, which would be sorta funny in this context) but torn in the sense that the poop emoji clearly overpowered the 100%, as poop has that power.

Just wanted clarity.

I like this on a conceptual level

I'm sure they'll charge you quite some extra money for it.
I should better upcycle my own half-dead guitars.

That Revstar is a beut!

This reminds me of something Ibanez would do, not Yamaha. EWWWWWWWW
