Plastic Guitars Strike a Chord
The plastic guitars I originally wrote about in Reactive Reports the chemistry webzine years ago are almost ready for market according to the SciScoop Science News Forum: Plastic guitars strike a chord
The inventors of the plastic guitar, based at Loughbourough University, are showcasing a range of innovative, high-quality acoustic and electric guitars made almost entirely from polymers. The three models, a hybrid wood/polymer acoustic, an all-polymer acoustic and a semi-hollow electric, feature patented foamed polymer technology that gives outstanding sound quality, apparently. Personally, I’m holding out for an Alex Lifeson signature Gibson ES355 in white (of Rush Natural Science fame).
