Brad Ferguson's Bamboo Guitar
My friend Brad made a guitar out of Chinese bamboo. Behold:

Brad is involved with Tonerider, which “produces electric guitars pickups, bass guitar pickups and handwired guitar effects pedals, designed and priced for working musician.”
So awesome, Brad! Classic example: “Designed and priced for the working musician.” – Brad Ferguson. Thanks for sharing, John!

Here’s a video of my little brother playing the finished guitar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqRqROVkQSk
Hey,
I love your guitar. Great work! I am a firm believer in bamboo guitars I play the Fender B1 bamboo acoustic electric. I have Fender Strat but have been looking for a bamboo electric. I would love to get more information about your building techniques. Would you consider selling and or making more bamboo guitars?
