A new invention has arrived to help make the guitar industry that bit more eco-friendly in the form of a Bluetooth conversation kit called Re-Tuned, which helps to turn acoustic guitars into unique and sustainable speaker systems.
This invention was developed by Found:ling Reusery, an Australian based product development business.
When you break it down, the invention gets top marks for innovation, as they transform acoustic guitars into speakers, providing a stable home for long-forgotten guitars, saving them from the landfill.
What is unique about this invention, is that it aims to increase the eco levels and sustainability of the guitar industry, as well as offer a creative design.
An official statement said the following:
“Re-Tuned sets out to be the most sustainable Bluetooth speaker kit on the market”, it read. “Not only is the kit designed to make use of old unused guitars by turning them into the speaker’s acoustic chamber, they are also constructed in the most sustainable fashion possible”.
Just to make a few guitars “useful again”
A crowd-funding platform has also been launched by Re-Tuned.
Known as Kickstarter, the platform has set a target of $12,500. Should they reach this target, each part of the speaker made from plastic will come from recycled milk bottle caps, which will be sourced down under.
“With over 1.8 million acoustic guitars sold in the USA alone every year, there are a lot of guitars reaching the end of their playable lives,” the statement added. “We want to make just a few of them useful again”.
Re-Tuned is currently in pre-production. You can also pre order a kit now. Check out the Kickstarter page for more.
Back in February, Noel Gallagher teamed up Gibson to release 20 signed ’78 Les Paul Custom guitars for charity.
It was also confirmed that all profits from the sale of these guitars would go towards the Teenage Cancer Trust, which Noel Gallagher is also an ambassador for.
