Here is the conversation with Burton Snowboards & Circle Strings!
#Snowboards and #guitars. Same wood. Same craft. Different ride.
At NAMM Media Day 2026, Sean caught up with Adam Buchwald and William Hylton from Circle Strings about their collaboration with Burton.
The concept: matching snowboards and custom guitars built from the same materials—including Burton's actual snowboard core.
William put it simply: "The body of this guitar is actually made out of the core material as well—it's pretty sweet, light, durable wood."
Vermont figured mahogany. Alakazam powder board curves in the design. Snowflake inlays inspired by Snowflake Bentley's historic photography.
Two crafts. One philosophy. Wood, precision, and riding your own line.
