Adam and Shaun Lee are two brothers that started with an idea and a humble workshop in their parents’ basement in Marietta, Ga. They have since turned their oil can guitars into a blossoming online business.
Bohemian Guitars (@bohemianguitars) was inspired by the Lee’s upbringing in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they saw musicians creating guitars from recycled oil cans.
These are guys you want to know, strumming guitars you want to hear.
