I spy a little instrument that I really like. Even though I have yet to test one out, the name speaks for itself. Thanks to Alternative Consumer for pointing this one out to me. This is the Gibson Les Paul SmartWood, and deserves notice by those shopping with sustainability in mind, and especially for fellow guitar pickers. These guitars are made from one of six exotic woods from regions certified by the Rainforest Alliance which ensures the wood comes from forests managed with a focus on sustainability .
