  • Search for Guitar Silhouette design ideas and customize the shape of your guitar
  • Trace the design on a flat piece of cardboard (40-80 cm is best)

~hint

  • Avoid small details that are difficult to cut into cardboard
  • Unfolding a box gives longer pieces of cardboard, and creases can be reinforced
