Cary, North Carolina artist Peter Geiger makes interesting guitar sculptures from car license plates. Peter was inspired to create his unique brand of art one day during a jam session when he thought his old license plates hanging on a wall might make for interesting guitar art.

He’s now taking custom orders, so if you’ve got a some plates that mean something to you, you might want to think about having him build a couple of guitars. He’ll even let you choose your own guitar style.

“Sometimes people say, ‘I live in Texas and I’m moving to Louisiana. Can you make a guitar with these?’” says Geiger, and he transforms them into a piece of visual art that has special meaning to the customer. “Others” he continues, “bring me their license plates and say, ‘Here, I don’t need them, you use them. Make something special.’”

Peter’s work has found its way into two North Carolina art galleries.
