Paper Guitar Model Making

I constructed my first paper guitar. The patterns are free from http://www.paperguitar.com and they have several to choose from. It is quite tedious to cut the pieces out and a very delicate operation to assemble. It is definitely a good project for improving your hand skills. The models look great!
Be sure and use a coated paper like photo paper.. I used a matte finish. Also, sharp blade and cutting board makes a huge difference. If you would like for me to make a more instructional type video on making a paper guitar let me know in the comments! Have fun!

hey is it really hard to do this? and do we really need that photo paper? or is it ok without the photo paper? please reply

@blacang3l The photopaper looks better and is a bit stronger. Photo isn't that pricey these days though. You could make one with regular paper though.. the only drawbacks are that the glue will make the paper buckle and lose it's rigidness during construction. However, with controlled amounts of glue and caution it will probably be fine. It does take a steady hand and assembly skill. I'd love to see one you make.

@Parksart ok thanks  and could you make one with the normal kind?

@blacang3l The photo paper is the way to go. For me, all the time invested in actually cutting the pieces and patiently gluing them together is too tedious to use mediocre materials. If you don't have access to photo paper you might try cardstock.

could you make a tutorial for the fender telecaster one? i downloaded the instructions, but i still don't understand it

[Retsam09AA]

Have you made any of the electric guitars?

Have you the white Gretsch acoustic which was like the white penguin?

It wasn't on the site long I don't think?

Were there any other models which are not there that you know?

I have made 18 so far. I have made a small tube guitar stand from paper.

Cool model guitars.

That's me below.

Check my vid. It's long and boring.

No annoying background track.

But the model guitars are awesome.

My smallest is a green LP 6.5cm small.

I started a few months back. After seeing your vid here. Cheers.

Rock on.

Very Cool> I have made 18 electrics so far out of their 38 guitar collection.

Many have options to make more than one type of the same guitar, such as gold or silver pieces.

I make mine about 10cm small. The smallest is 6.5cm.

I hang them in my car from rear vision mirror. Change them often.

A Vid on uTube is on its way.

Rock on.
