my grandmother's electric guitar

My grandmother’s antique twin beds were gathering dust in my garage. Pity because the richly dark wooden frames were beautiful. We have some of her furniture in the house, but the beds were impractical. Maybe a dump run? Then an idea. My friend Kevin builds electric guitars from reclaimed and new wood with new and vintage parts. At first he was skeptical. “I’m not sure about this.” He took the beds and then sent me excited texts. “It’s maple with mahogany veneer. Great!” He made some guitar bodies and necks and, as a thank you, he made me a beautiful custom instrument in my grandmother’s memory.  

You can find Kevin’s creations on his website The New Vintage.
