Rocker Board is a fusion of street culture and craftsmanship, transforming a well-ridden skateboard deck into a fully functioning electric guitar. By preserving the board’s original scuffs, graphics, and worn edges, the piece carries the history of motion, impact, and energy to a human is now translated into sound.
The deck’s curvature becomes the body of the instrument, its layered maple providing both structural integrity and a distinctive tonal character. Custom hardware, hand-fitted pickups, and a reclaimed neck complete the transformation, allowing the instrument to be played like any traditional guitar while retaining its raw, urban identity.
Part sculpture, part instrument, Rocker Board celebrates reinvention. It embodies the spirit of reuse and the creativity found at the intersection of music, sport, and art, honouring the stories held in disused everyday objects and giving them a new voice, quite literally, through music.
