Adam and Shaun Lee, who spent their childhood in Johannesburg, South Africa, shared a love for the sounds of simple homemade instruments, as well as a penchant for turning broken instruments and recycled components into “playable works of art,” and their company, Bohemian Guitars, is now turning out electric guitars that sound as good as they look.

Their original idea was conceived as an alternative to the “overpriced and bland musical instruments” currently on the market, and Bohemian Guitars was launched last year, via Kickstarter, in order to meet the need for “stylish and trendy guitars” that were both affordable and of high quality. The campaign was a big success, raising almost double the $30,000 goal, and now the company is offering not only pre-built guitars, but also a series of “Build-A-Boho” guitars featuring vintage upcycled oil cans.

“Bohemian Guitars mission is to build funky, unique and functional instruments out of oil cans for real, everyday use.”
