One thing about pop icons and aspiring musicians today is that they love to use the best instruments in town. In this case, these guitarists may want to apply a certain green patch towards buying their next guitar. The best part of it is that people will not even know the difference (unless of course they divulge it).

Most of these guitars are made from bamboo or other wooden raw materials that are being tagged as dilapidating in terms of availability. As long as that guitar can carry the same tune, pop artists and guitar players will not know the difference.

Those looking to reduce their financial footprint will prefer the First Act Bambusa electric guitar ($400, right), made from bamboo, “one of the fastest growing plants in the world, and an uncommonly renewable resource,” with a water based finish and food-safe glue, should you run out of granola.

Next on the list are the Martin Sustainable Wood Series acoustic guitars ($1700), constructed from a mix of FSC-certified wood plus some old-growth mahogany and rosewood.

Your other option is the Gibson LEs Paul SmartWood, built with wood that has been certified by the Rainforest Alliance, which receives part of the revenue from each unit sold.
