Environment and Green Issues

Environment and Wolford Guitars

  • Every guitar sold pays for 5 trees to be planted via our SPONSORTREES.COM partner and a proof will be sent to the new owner.

There is no such thing as a "green" electric guitar, but it is possible to trial processes and materials to improve matters, and Wolford Guitars are keen to progress in this field. We would like to hear from any suppliers that may have products of interest.
