Instagram post 2146756123047228115_5757775934 The comfortable 24” scale length of our License Plate Guitar design is directly inspired by the Fender Jaguar, which has this very same fret spacing. Today saw the delivery of our latest “Lemon Drop” build. We now have just one more yellow plate in our materials stores to make one more guitar of this colour. If you would like to become the owner of what could very well become our final “Lemon Drop” LPG please get in touch and we will create an entry for you in our build backlog. Now offering UK mainland delivery for just £9.95 #licenseplateguitar #licenseplateguitars #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #fender #fenderjaguar #fenderjag #shortscale #licenseplates #licenseplate #licenseplateart #licenseplateart #wallart #yellow #guitar #guitars #electricguitar #jazzmaster #fendermustang #fenderguitars #homemadeinstruments #3string #sketchesandstrings #3strings #3stringguitar #worthing #worthingartist #offsetguitars #offsetguitar #guitarra
Instagram post 2151040704164276391_5757775934 Wishing a very happy 50th birthday today to the marvellous @pjharveyofficial. In Chelmsford, Essex there is an excellent long-standing market stall selling excess back issues of various magazine publications. This PJ Harvey #ultimatemusicguide by @uncut_magazine was picked up there fairly recently. Many MANY years before, an early edition of @totalguitar was bought from the very same location and included as a free gift the glass bottleneck slide pictured on the left. This slide would become the inspiration for the Salvage Sounds range of handcut bottlenecks, examples of which are pictured on the right and top. These elements combine on the first couple of PJ Harvey albums, "Dry" (1992 - the 16th entry on Kurt Cobain's own handwritten "Top 50 by Nirvana") and "Rid of Me" (1993). Both these records feature a number of songs with Polly Jean playing slide on her guitar. Probably most notably the latter's searing final track "Ecstasy". The raw nature and raucousness of this gritty early material lends itself well to the stripped-down Cigar Box Guitar and the type of music the instrument inspires. Though the following pair of PJ Harvey songs do not feature slide, those with an appreciation for where dirty blues meets alternative rock - but unfamiliar with her work - would do well to check out the spectacularly rambunctious "50 Ft Queenie", and the (speaker!) bursting cover of the Bob Dylan classic "Highway 61 Revisited". Listen now on Spotify and enjoy. #pjharvey #pollyjeanharvey #totalguitar #chelmsford #essex #ridofme #stevealbini #bobdylan #kurtcobain #nirvana #90smusic #90sgrunge #islandrecords #alternativerock #highway61 #highway61revisited #50ftqueenie #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #bottleneckslide #slideguitar #bluesmusic #bornin1969 #50today #happybirthday #glassslide #guitarslide #slideguitarblues #uncutmagazine
Instagram post 2053137842776833751_5757775934 Our stall today at the “REclaim Weekend” community recycling festival by @weareoverthemoon in Shoreham-by-Sea with the day’s 1st two “Infinite Instrument” creations salvaged from the event’s junk stash. #junkorchestra #recycle #repurposed #salvage #salvaged #repurpose #recycling #recycler #festival #shoreham #shorehambysea #community #recycledart #recycled #upcycled #upcycling #cigarboxguitars #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #ukulele #canjo #guitar #diddleybow #licenseplateguitar #guitars #instamusic #instaart #stall #craft #handmadeinstruments
Instagram post 2056606527646464340_5757775934 The elder member of the Salvage Sounds junior division (age 12) scratch-built this awesome resonator body at the @weareoverthemoon “REclaim Weekend” on Monday. With a hardwood slab for a base, drawer-runners for the sides, and thin sheet metal for the resonating soundtop - all materials located in the event’s “junk stash” on the day. The back and sides were smoothed and rounded, while the edges and corners of the metal were softened using tin-snips. He then finished by adding the soundhole detail using a discarded piece of a child’s building set, also found in the stash, as a hole spacing guide. The combination of the solid, weighty base for sustain, the super-thin but very strong metal top for tone and reverberation, and one of our “Infinite Instrument” ready-made 1-string necks, results in a great blues sound and satisfying to play Diddley Bow. And shows how the Salvage Sounds “Infinite Instrument” can make instrument-building accessible to a range of ages and abilities. Limited numbers of creations from the event still available for only £10 - please DM to enquire. #youngtalent #childrenarethefuture #safehands #salvage #salvaged #reclaimadur #reclaim #reclaimed #reclaimedwood #reclaimedwoodart #repurpose #repurposed #infiniteinstrument #reuse #reused #reusedwood #recycle #recycling #upcycled #upcycling #cigarboxnation #cigarboxguitars #cigarboxguitar #diddleybow #handmadeinstruments #handmadeinstrument #instamusic #instaart #instaguitar #1string

Instagram post 2081593407982836239_5757775934 A little #flashbackfriday to 12 months ago... to a time when it was very VERY warm and there was still a chance of football coming home. We were at the @paddleroundthepier festival on board the spectacular Paddle Bus guests of @brightonhovebuses Our radio interview can be heard on the audio demo gallery page (link in profile). Listen out for short bursts of some of our creations in action. Paddle Round The Pier 2019 takes place this weekend on Hove Lawns, East Sussex. Our friends - The Fretful Federation - will be back on the bus giving #ukulele and #mandolin taster sessions. If you are free and in the area drop by and join the fun at this awesome annual event. #sup #standuppaddle #standuppaddling #standuppaddleboards #standuppaddleboard #standuppaddleboarding #ukuleles #canjo #strumstick #radio #radiointerview #handmadeinstrument #handmadeinstruments #hove #hovelawns #recycling #music #bus #buses #beachfestival #fbf #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #cigarboxguitars #guitar #guitars #worldcup
Instagram post 2054010955093574425_5757775934 We still have a few £10 1-string tinjos and open-backed panjos left over from our marathon “Infinite Instrument” building session yesterday at the @weareoverthemoon “REclaim Weekend” in Shoreham-by-Sea. Each with its own unique character and voice. Please send us a DM or get in touch via our website if you would like to discuss the possibility of acquiring one at this special price. #1-string #repurposed #diddleybow #diddleybows #canjo #canjos #panjo #panjos #tinjo #reclaim #reclaimed #recycle #recycledart #upcycled #upcycle #upcycling #banjo #banjos #ukulele #ukuleles #boats #guitars #cigarboxnation #cigarboxguitars #cigarboxguitar #shoreham #shorehambysea #handmadeinstrument #repurpose #salvaged
Instagram post 2232931409006067194_5757775934 **NEW VIDEO IN PROFILE LINK** We love it when customers send us photos of our creations in their new home. See and hear this particular beauty playing our 3-string arrangement of Paul Simon’s “The Sound of Silence” from inside the Salvage Sounds pop-up shop, courtesy of the fantastic @ColonnadeHse. Only one more of this design left in stock now! Incidentally we are hoping we might be visiting Colonnade House again this Saturday evening for their annual film festival and a documentary piece on music in movies – a particular interest of ours. See Story for details.

Open from today through to Sunday at @colonnadehse in the heart of Worthing. If you are in the area, please swing by our alternative pop-up guitar shop. If you have bought from us before, feel free to bring your instruments and we’ll give them a quick tune up and service for you - and maybe give you a few playing tips and have a bit of a jam. #worthing #guitarshop #guitarstore #artexhibition #artexhibitions #recycling #recycledart #recycled #refusereducereuserecycle #upcycled #upcycle #recycle #recyclereuse #recycler #salvage #salvaged #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #licenseplateguitar #ukulele #ukelele #handmadeinstruments #handmadeisbetter #handmadeisbest #cbg #cigarboxguitars #diddleybow #canjo #strumstick #guitars
Instagram post 2203842579896601933_5757775934 **SPECIAL OFFER** Last postage for Christmas Day may have passed but as long as the current issue of @reclaimmag this month is on shelves across the UK - with its feature on Salvage Sounds - we will continue to offer FREE delivery across the mainland for all our cigar box instruments. There are just a few guitars left now, plus this cute little ukulele. The instrument is electro-acoustic, with Aquila nylgut strings and bone nut and saddle for that sweet tone. Also featuring hand-carved neck and headstock with Mother-of-Pearl marquetry. Plus soundhole mesh covers fabricated entirely from recycled and repurposed materials. #ukulele #ukuleles #ukelele #ukeleles #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxguitars #cigarboxnation #uke #ukes #ukelife #ukulelecover #rem #losingmyreligion #ukecover #ukecovers #ukulelesongs #ukulelelife #ukelelecover #cigarboxukulele #ukulelelove #ukeleletime #ukuleletime #ukulelelove #loveukulele #ukulelelover #ukulelelovers #cigarbox #cigarboxes #ukelelelife #ukelelelove

Instagram post 2126894928857179536_5757775934 Half the stock of License Plate Guitars has already sold, and we haven’t even hit the weekend rush yet. If it is something you have thought about, perhaps don’t hesitate as there has been significant interest in the remaining guitars. Here down at @colonnadehse in #Worthing until Sunday 5pm. #licenseplateguitar #licenseplateguitars #licenceplate #licenseplate #illinois #texas #licenceplateguitar #licenceplateguitars #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #boxguitar #3stringguitar #3stringguitars #landoflincoln #guitars #guitarlife #guitare #guitarphotography #guitarporn #cbg #cigarboxguitars #salvage #salvaged #reclaim #reclaimed #repurposed #repurpose #upcycled #upcycling
Instagram post 2180868691793455413_5757775934 **NEW AUDIO IN PROFILE LINK** In addition to the angled headstock and elegant in-line tuners, another feature of our pencil case strumstick micro guitar is the multi-position integrated wall hanging solution to the rear of the headstock. Weighing less than 8 ounces, the instrument can easily be supported on any nail or picture hook. The hanging ring can be folded down out of sight when playing. Or can be used to attach a gift tag for this most unique of handmade items - sure to bring a musical smile to anyone’s face. While we had these five latest builds recently finished, we took the opportunity during our pre-shipping testing to demonstrate what an ensemble “orchestra” of the instrument sounds like. So head now to our profile for the world’s first known recording of a Pencil Case String Quintet, where the link will take you directly to our arrangement of the Smashing Pumpkins classic “Disarm” #smashingpumpkins #thesmashingpumpkins #billycorgan #disarm #siamesedream #butchvig #smashingpumpkinscover #coverversion #acousticguitar #acousticcover #acousticcovers #quintet #cigarboxnation #cigarboxguitar #ukulele #ukuleles #ukelele #ukeleles #worthing #handmadeinstruments #upcycled #upcycle #repurpose #repurposed #worthingartist #strumstick #madeinworthing #3string #3strings #nylonstrings

Instagram post 2125463970912294765_5757775934 We have freshly finished cigar box guitars in the shop this week, with a special £30 discount off the web price. Available in both the classic f-hole design plus a couple of beautiful paper-covered bodies. All boxes arriving directly from Cuba this year. A lovely full and bright acoustic sound. These work as electric also with a discreet tone and volume control panel to the rear of the guitar, hidden from view and not clashing with the aesthetics of the face. Each instrument features #motherofpearl inlay marquetry, hand-shaped neck and Salvage Sounds signature headstock. @colonnadehse #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #handmadeinstruments #cbg #cigarboxguitars #slideguitar #bluesguitar #worthing #blues #cuba #havana #habana #cigarbox #cigarboxart #worthingartist #3string #3stringguitar #handmadeguitar #handmadeguitars #marquetry #reclaim #reclaimed #upcycled #upcycle #repurposed #recycledart #refusereducereuserecycle #salvage #salvaged
Instagram post 2052349441291057507_5757775934 Did they say it would be good weather for drying instruments on the line?? Tomorrow we will be appearing at the “REclaim Weekend” over in Shoreham-by-Sea in association with @weareoverthemoon. This creative community recycling festival, taking place on each day (10am to 4pm) of the #bankholidayweekend is full of activities, performances and stalls for all ages. Today’s theme is “REfashion”. Tomorrow’s is “REplay”. If you are in the area, come and join in the fun on Coronation Green (free entry). We are just finishing up a batch of our “Infinite Instrument” 1-string necks, so that some funky new creations can be made at the event from the stash of available junk! And later can be played in an ensemble “junk orchestra” at the end of the day. To mark the occasion we will be selling some of our instruments for up to half the usual price, with ALL 1-string items (including those we create on the day) only £10 #upcycled #upcycle #recycling #recycle #shoreham #shorehambysea #reuse #1string #1-string #handmadeinstruments #handmadeinstrument #cigarboxnation #cigarboxguitar #canjo #cigarboxguitars #boxguitar #recycledart #recycled #repurposed #repurpose #replay #junkorchestra #community #festival #clothesline #clothespeg #clothespegs #bankholiday #bankholidaymonday
Instagram post 2274250945172724927_5757775934 ** NEW STUDIO RECORDING – LINK IN PROFILE ** It has been business as (fairly) usual at Salvage Sounds this week. Just before the more stringent UK lockdown measures took effect we were able to release this custom #licenseplateguitar – an “Alternate Reality” take on our usual Land of Lincoln design. This one’s tuned to a down-and-dirty open D As a post-build play-test we recorded a quick bottleneck version of one of our favourite “Drop D” tunes – the opening track from Soundgarden’s classic 1994 album “Superunknown”, with all guitar parts performed with this instrument and a hand cut glass slide made from a pressurised wine bottle. This song is great fun to play even on our 10 quid 1-string Diddley Bows! The updated link in our profile will take you straight to our interpretation of this piece – as written by the late, forever great Chris Cornell. #soundgarden #licenseplateguitars #bluesguitar #slideguitar #guitarsofinstagram #slideguitars #salvage #salvaged #upcycling #upcycled #upcycle #3strings #3stringguitar #grunge #coverversion #cbgitty #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxguitars #cigarboxnation #instamusic #resonatorguitar #superunknown #seattle #cbg #boxguitar #threestringguitar #chriscornell #recycled #guitarra
Instagram post 2269776566456060441_5757775934 #theweightofhope the new album by @hayleyrossmusic has been on heavy rotation lately up in the Salvage Sounds studio workshop. This instrument is the Hayley Ross Special Edition tuned to an unusual open C Sharp, inspired by her song #Tumbledown as featured on Netflix’s worldwide smash “Orange is the New Black” If you have yet to check out this great artist search her out now on streaming platforms and let Hayley’s beautiful music soothe you in these strange and uncertain times. #netflix #netflixandchill #netflixshows #netflixoriginalseries #orangeisthenewblack #hayleyross #hayleyrossmusic #barracudarecordings #licenseplate #licenseplateguitar #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #newartist #music #musician @barracuda_recordings #cigarboxguitars #licenseplateguitars #handmadeinstruments #salvage #salvaged #recycled #recycle #upcycle #upcycled #ukartist #repurposed #repurpose #3string

Instagram post 2127864200249135673_5757775934 Those following us a while may recall that earlier this year we thought we may have built our last cigar box ukulele of this design. Those following even longer may recall how we have explained our zero wastage neck manufacturing method whereby we build a mirror image neck pair from one length of timber that we then separate down the middle. Well, we were very lucky to be provided with a beautiful “Romeo Y Julieta” box fresh from Cuba a little while ago. As we had made an odd number of instruments of this nature before (7) we had a practically finished neck ready to be added, leftover from the last separation “operation”. So perhaps THIS is the final cigar box uke build we will produce.... of this particular type, and certainly for a while at least. Electro-acoustic for amplification potential and available from the Salvage Sounds pop-up shop in #worthing @colonnadehse for £80. Final day tomorrow. #ukulele #uke #ukelele #ukeleletime #ukelife #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #worthingartist #handmadeinstrument #handmadeinstruments #ukulelelove #ukeleles #ukelelelove #ukuleles #4string #4strings #cuba #habana #havana #upcycled #repurpose #repurposed #reclaim #reclaimed #romeoyjulieta #ukulelelife #cigarboxukulele #upcycling #upcycler

Instagram post 2126180255644041557_5757775934 So you have heard of #cigarboxguitars but have you ever seen a CIGARILLO Box Guitar before? These cute #mercator boxes were donated to Salvage Sounds by the amazing @angebellart The lil’ fellas - built right here in the shop this week at @colonnadehse - are packed with surprises... the surprising sparkling tone and volume for such a small vessel... the wooden rule neck-backing providing both a comfortable profile and added strength... the salvaged string #guitarstrap... the “secret” #woodburned side fret markers (so everyone watching you play fretless from the front will think you a musical genius with a perfect ear for pitch)... and perhaps the biggest surprise of all... an accessible rear where you can keep your bottleneck slide and pick (which we include as part of the package), or even your sandwiches (which we definitely don’t) These travel-size two stringers are the perfect introduction to the wonderful world of #CBGs and roots instruments, and for only £40 for something that is truly one of a kind (okay... two of a kind) #slideguitar #bluesguitar #blues #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #cigarillo #cigarillos #woodenruler #worthingartist #handmadeguitar #handmadeinstrument #handmadeinstruments #salvaged #salvage #upcycled #upcycle #recycle #recycling #2string #2strings #worthing #travelguitar #travelguitars #repurposed #repurpose

Instagram post 2091538037327270178_5757775934 Today marks our 2 year Instagram anniversary. Around this time last year we were thinking about our “Tex-Mex” #licenseplateguitar design. (Texan license plate, Mexican beer bottle cap controls) Originally intended as a one-off, the instrument - pictured here - created so much interest that we have decided to try and build a “Tex-Mex 2” in time for our September @colonnadehse exhibition. If you wish to reserve the instrument before it goes on public show please get in touch. #texas #texmex #texan #mexico #mexico🇲🇽 #sol #corona #corona🍺 #solbeer #cerveza #licenseplates #licenseplateart #licenseplate #licenseplateguitars #cbg #cigarboxguitar #cigarboxnation #handmadeinstruments #handmadeinstrument #guitar #guitarra #3stringguitar #3string #gitarra #guitarras #cigarboxguitars #worthing #blues #bluesguitar
Instagram post 2193058412757972023_5757775934 A little #flashbackfriday moment to around this time last year… Earlier this week we were at “Jam Studio” over in #Chichester – reminding us of our first visit to Worthing’s @Northbrook_Music where we took various instruments from our range to demonstrate and record. There we jammed with students and staff on a little version of the modern day 3-string classic “Chicken Coop Blues” by Cigar Box Guitar pioneer Mike Snowden of @SnowdenGuitars Normally we always like to play the License Plate Guitar with a lot of dirt, particularly on this tune – so it was interesting to try it at volume with a dry signal running clean through a Vox AC30 (60th anniversary issue) The resultant recording from that day has now been included on our updated audio demonstration page – see link in profile. #fbf #vox #voxac30 #northbrookmet #musicnorthbrook #studiocourses #studio #inthestudio #studiotime #studiotimeout #soundengineering #musicindustry #liveroom #licenseplateguitar #recordingstudio #recordingstudios #canjo #cigarboxguitar #musicproduction #cigarboxguitars #musicbusiness #cigarboxnation #handmadeinstruments #handmadeinstrument #worthing #soundengineer #bassguitar #drums @mike.pailthorpe @musictechsnorthbrookmet
