Love this upcycled guitar cacti display too!
If I was giving away a best-in-show upcycling prize, this arrangement of upcycled instruments would win! Check out @plantsandcollecting
Or hang it on a wall and use it as a planter!
Ok, not an actual guitar. But I love this upcycled guitar-case bookshelf
Turned the guitar case sideways and, another great upcycled shelf!
And this one from the Junk Gypsy
Or how about a coffee table? Instructions here.
I did a (metaphorical) jig when I saw this project ... turning an old guitar into a speaker seems like a very respectful re-use to me!
Guitar heads become wall hooks. Not a DIY ... but looks infinitely do-able to me!

I recently posted a round-up of quirky, urban-garden planters that included a beautiful image of a guitar as part of a rooftop garden. I love the way this guitar planter frames the porch/veranda ... and still looks very much like what it is!
Newspaper, book pages and sheet music can quickly turn an old guitar into a piece of art or a clock!
This incredible piece incorporates an actual acoustic guitar - you have to see all the other images of this beautiful Guitar Table with compartments
Starry starry nights .... this lamp is genius, right? DIY here
This gorgeous floor lamp isn't a DIY - but you can buy it here.
More genius... it's a lamp and a wine rack. via
It's a dollhouse. Or rather, a masterpiece in miniature - not a DIY! For more images (because you know you want to see more), click here
Finally, recycle the strings by turning them into a centerpiece that you'll never need to throw out
Hi Candice.
ReplyDeleteWow. Seeing my guitar with the title of the page in it did put a smile on my face. :)
Nice to see that my guitar speaker has sparked some interest.
I'll be posting a new upcycled gadget to my site some time next week.
Feel free to have a look. I've upcycled and modified quite a bit.

DeleteI am a professional guitar player and recently I have purchased one new “Yamaha F310 Dreadnought” acoustic guitar. I have worried about the reuse of my old guitar which has no value. But after reading this blog I have astonished to know how to reuse the old guitar for home decorative purpose. It is an art to use the old guitar as a self which is mentioned here. I am really thankful to this blog to share such a nice information. Is there any specific use of the old guitar tuner buttons? As I have purchased new(https://faberusa.com/product-category/tuners/)guitar tuner buttons. Please suggest.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so inspired just looking at these! So beautiful and creative!
