Transform an Old Guitar into a Striking Lamp

Transform an Old Guitar into a Striking LampEvery guitar carries stories in its strings, even long after the music fades.

This lamp captures that spirit, blending music and light into one heartfelt creation.

Also, the guitar body cradles the lamp, while the shade, lined with printed sheet music, turns into a glowing canvas of melody.

Once switched on, it feels as though your favorite songs are alive again, dancing through the room in warm, golden light.

Materials Needed

  • 1 old or unused guitar (acoustic works best)
  • Drill with hole saw attachment
  • Electric lamp kit (socket, cord, and bulb)
  • Drum-style lampshade
  • Printed sheet music pages
  • Mod Podge or adhesive spray
  • Scissors and craft brush
  • Optional: sandpaper and polish

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Clean the guitar and decide on its position, flat on a base or upright against the wall. Then secure it if needed for stability.

Step 2: Drill a hole through the top or back of the guitar to run the lamp cord.

Next, you thread the electric kit through and attach the socket securely at the top.

Step 3: Prepare the lampshade by covering it with sheet music pages.

You can use Mod Podge or spray adhesive to attach the sheets evenly, smoothing out wrinkles as you go.

Step 4: Place the shade onto the lamp socket and insert a bulb. Warm white bulbs work best to highlight the musical notes.

Step 5: Plug it in and watch the soft glow turn the guitar into a glowing monument of music and memory.

Tips:

If you’re working with a beloved but damaged guitar, this project lets you keep it forever close, transforming memories into light.

A finishing touch like a treble clef charm or guitar pick tied to the cord adds personal flair.
