On this week’s show we talk to Jay Burstein of BugOut Guitars in Randolph, Vermont, where he’s been making guitars and ukuleles out of industrial hemp. These guitars and ukes are super durable, extremely playable, and are made for adventure.

Burstein tells the story of how he first started making stringed instruments and why he ultimately was compelled to build them from hemp fibers. These instruments illuminate yet another possibility for industrial hemp – and this time it’s musical.
