For most music tree-hugging individuals will find it difficult to find an instrument that they can utilize without feeling awful about all the trees that had to be butchered to produce it. Hippies and extreme environmentalist will rejoice about the new envirinmonetallly conscious ‘Alpaca Guitar.’
The Alpaca Guitar was designed with the elements any outdoorsy person would love to encounter on a regular basis. The instrument is made of carbon fiber, flax fabric and bio-derived resins, which all sound like materials that came from a backyard. The guitar can easily be carried by anyone with its lightweight design, making for the perfect alternative to any wood-based guitars.
Dissimilar from other guitars, its tuners are based at the bottom for protection, with the hollowed-out area no longer placed behind the strings anymore -- this is done so for easy water drainage.
With so much eco-love put into crafting this instrument, any hardcore environmentalist will surely want this for their camp gathering.
