WE MADE A PARLOR GUITAR OUT OF SOME OLD PALLETS - IS THIS THE FUTURE?

Can scrap wood really become a serious instrument? In this video, we put the Pallet Guitar to the test — built from reclaimed pallet timber and finished in the workshop at Atkin. What started as an experiment has turned into something that genuinely surprised us. It shouldn’t sound this good… but it does. This isn’t about luxury tonewoods or traditional expectations, it’s about what happens when craftsmanship meets curiosity. Sometimes the most unexpected builds deliver the biggest shock. 🎸 In this video: • First impressions of the Pallet Guitar • Close-up look at the reclaimed wood • Honest reaction to the sound Let us know in the comments, does this change how you think about tonewood?
