Smokin'
For many years hemp has (allegedly) been used to great excess by numerous musicians. But the thought of using it to produce deep, rich sustain through your favorite amp is surely the stuff of smoke-induced dreams. Not any more!
The organically-shaped body of a semi-acoustic MADA guitar is molded from hemp pulp. Hempstone's unique properties offer rich sustain and sharp, organic tones. Whilst MADA makes no particular green claims, the wood is sourced in the local Austrian forests and the wildly misunderstood hemp (it's illegal to grow it in the US) is regarded highly for its eco-friendliness. Hemp is fast growing, a natural weed suppresser (meaning little or no need for nasty pesticides), it has long roots so acts to replenish soil and produces lots and lots of wonderful oxygen. The guitar is available in a range of interestingly bright colors.
