Innovative Instrument designs of the century

From the birth of the electric Guitar in the 40's we present you with Skateguitar. 100% handmade from the get go.

Argentinian Creators Ezequil Galasso and Gianfranco de Gennaro, a professional skateboarder,musician and member of the band B.O.D as well as an avid collectors of electric guitars, found a way to improve a musician’s life as well as the life expectancy of centuries old concept of the guitar with creativity, research and an innovative idea
 Every guitar players worries about their instruments,will it scratch when in motion?  Will it be in one piece in the baggage claim?  Well Ezekiel has always been interested in sustainability and after extensive research and development they managed to create an almost indestructible designed.It looks like a guitar, sounds like a guitar, plays like a guitar, but as the name suggest,  it is actually a skateboard, with the strength to support the weight of heavy weight athlete,jumping repeatedly on it and with 14 layers of maple pressed hardwood and the highest degree of craftsmanship and input from the best brands in skate technology, we have a final product that has resistance to stress and an unbreakable neck. A definite perk for a guitar player that shreds the stage.


Skateguitar does not need great care, it supports if not condones scratches and beatings,which makes it an ideal travel companion for musicians on the road. It also has perfect tuning, responds well to plug ins and better yet, it looks awesome! From foot to hand, this is a perfect example of sustainability in a creative manor.
