My dream of becoming the Eco-version of Jimmy Hendrix or Chuck Berry have long vanished for the simple fact that I have no guitar skills whatsoever... Lenny Kravitz is way closer than a brotha and he also owns a 1,000-acre organic farm in Brazil outside Rio de Janeiro. But my question is "would Lenny rock the Simon Lee Recycled Guitar (Cyclotron Benton)?"
The Cyclotron Benton that is high quality, hand made, sustainable instruments which are made using environmentally sound processes and materials where ever possible.
All guitarists like to stand out, and almost certainly love to show off. The new range of Cyclotron guitars from Simon Lee will enable you to do both, and saving the planet in the process.
Unlike conventional instruments, Cyclotron guitars are not made from endangered hardwoods. The material of choice here is, maybe surprisingly, recycled plastics. However, the real surprise comes when you actually play the guitar. The maple neck, heavy recycled plastic body and top quality hand-wound Bare Knuckle pickups (as used by Matt Bellamy, Lenny Kravitz, The Datsuns and many, many others) combine to give this guitar the top quality sound you would expect from such an instrument.
The Cyclotron Benton retains the visual simplicity of an early classic. Slab bodied and flat fronted with a single cut away, this union of classic design and cutting edge materials is sure to be loved. The body is built with two edge bevelled slabs locking in a maple core, which compliments the maple neck. Two single coil Bare Knuckle pickups are accessed by three way switching, and provide all the bite and twang players have come to expect from a guitar of this type.
The guitars are available in six unique materials, each of which give your new guitar a unique finish.
Materials
Marble: Reclaimed plastics from food production industry. Semi-translucent with black veining. Has the appearance of a very heavy marble. Snow: Factory reject Yoghurt pots with foil fragments from lids embedded in a white stone like material. Polishes to a hard shine. Pirate: Sparkling fragments of crushed CDs suspended in translucent blue from office water cooler bottles. The CDs were seized by Trading Standards during a raid on illegal CD production facilities. Superfresh: Domestic bottles and containers of all types. Gives very vivid splashes and streaks of colour moving through the material. It even has a fresh soapy smell when first machined. Chilli: Off cuts from industrial pipes. The mixture of colours produce a hot volcanic effect. Espresso: Vending Machine Coffee Cups which show as chips of cream and beige in a grey/ black base. This material polishes well to granite like appearance.
