Turn an Old Guitar into a Show-Stopping Floor Lamp

Turn an Old Guitar into a Show-Stopping Floor LampLighting meets melody with this inventive guitar lamp.

Stripped of its strings but not its soul, the guitar stands tall, cradling vintage bulbs that shine like fiery strings.

Industrial pipes frame the design, giving it grit and edge, while the familiar shape of the guitar keeps it soulful.

For anyone who’s ever loved a song, this lamp feels like having a live performance glowing in your home.

Materials Needed

  • 1 old or broken guitar (hollow body preferred)
  • Metal floor lamp stand or cymbal base for stability
  • Industrial pipe fittings
  • 2–3 Edison-style bulbs (warm tone recommended)
  • Light socket kit with wiring
  • Drill and cutting tools
  • Wood screws and brackets
  • Optional: wood polish or paint

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Prepare your guitar by carefully removing its strings, front panels (if needed), and cleaning the body. Make sure the inside is hollow enough for wiring.

Step 2: Attach the guitar securely to a lamp stand or base. A cymbal base, as seen here, not only adds stability but continues the musical theme.

Step 3: Install industrial pipe fittings inside the guitar’s body. Then position them vertically to hold the bulbs, creating the look of glowing strings.

Step 4: Wire the light sockets through the pipes, ensuring the cords are neatly concealed inside the guitar or down the lamp stand.

Step 5: Screw in your Edison bulbs and test the lamp. Adjust for height and balance so it stands sturdy.

Step 6: Add finishing touches, perhaps polishing the wood, adding a strap detail, or leaving it raw for a rustic effect.

Tips:

If you’re worried about stability, reinforce the guitar at the base with brackets.

For added flair, you can pair this lamp with other musical décor like a trumpet or saxophone lamp to create a full band corner in your space.
