9 Ideas For Upcycling Guitar Into Things That You’ll Need
Ideas For Upcycled Guitar
Guitar is one of the greatest musical instrument that humanity has ever invented. The best part about it is that it can be a standalone instrument for solo play. It’s no wonder that it becomes one of the main choice that parents will choose for their kids besides piano. It is common to start practicing music since young. You probably still doing that when you’re in your 20’s.
Along the way, due to extreme performance and whatnot, guitars may be broken in some way and you decided to keep it in the garage. Well, today is the day you might want to take it out. Your guitar may be far from it’s glorious musical days but that doesn’t mean it should remain as a keepsake in the garage. Turn it into something useful with the ideas we’ve listed here.
1. Guitar Lamp
This nice looking night lamp involves a whole new paint job. We recommend using night glowing paint to decorate around the surface. The original creator drilled holes over the guitar board. Putting string lights inside illuminates everything from the inside. This creates a fascinating view of night sky scene with a twist of musical element. This repurposed creation is beautiful and we think it’s kinda nice to be put in cafes or bars. It doesn’t look cheap at all and it helps in creating an atmosphere that might just suit your theme.
2. Guitar Hook
The head of the guitar can be modified by adding hooks to it. That way, you will get a guitar-themed hook for your wall. It’s gonna be awesome.
Alternate idea.
Or better yet, put hooks all along the fret board to hang your items. The front board of the guitar can be removed to have some space to store other items as well.
3. Wine Rack
Want a musical theme shelf for your favorite wine? Here’s one! The back casing of the guitar has been cut out and modified to form a shelf for your favorite wine display. Patterned holes are drilled around the surface, forming some floral shapes. Simple string lights can be put inside to illuminate the entire presentation.
4. Standing Lamp
For this genius decorative standing light, you only need to split it in half. After that, it’s about fixing the lighting.
Alternate idea.
Only the fret board and the guitar head are used to create this table lamp. The fret board is fixed on a wooden stand while the lamp and the lamp shade is installed at the guitar head. It’s a great table lamp that also serve as a beautiful decor.
Alternate idea.
Maintaining the entire size of the guitar may be an easier choice for your standing lamp. It saves the hassle of all the wood working.

5. Guitar Clock
There’s always seem to have a lack of decorative clocks around the house. The most we can see is the typical round shape on a wall. So, this can actually be a nice addition onto your wall. Make a decorative clock with old guitars and your home will never look the same. In this creation, a whole clock is stuck onto the guitar. Musical sheet paper is glued onto the surface of the guitar body as decoration.
6. Guitar Shelf
What a magical scene! Put some shelves into the body of the guitar to create something like this. The space inside may not be that big but it’s good enough to put some decorative items like planters and photo frames. The string lighting is optional but it really makes a huge difference to the entire shelf.
Alternate idea.
Wrapping the fret board with vine flowers isn’t a bad idea. The house will always look good with something of the nature.
7. Side Table
This is a must-have in your house! The surface of the guitar is wide enough to be used as a table. Plus, the hole makes a nice spot to put a planter in. This is a table with integrated planter! Trendy!
8. Planter
The hollow space within the guitar is just perfect to be filled with soil for your succulents. After that, it’s all about making the right size on the guitar body to fill in the plants.
Alternate idea.
Making multiple holes around the edge of the guitar. One for each of your succulents.
9. Bird House
Why should you keep birdhouses? Well, one is that it helps to preserve the bird population by providing a resting place. Birds eat seeds and spread them around in different places. This promotes plant growth. Be sure to put the bird house up in a tree or somewhere far from human contact.
