5 cardboard guitar designs

designed many guitar shapes in the last weeks and made my favorites out of cardboard to try them out... now my choice is 90% sure - but I keep a slow pace to let time work on my side, so far this method did me right...

  1. They could be tweaked by someone that really builds them. These are unbalanced and crude. Wastes precious wood because of the elongated unbalanced design. Would be a pain to cut. I know, I build guitars. These do have potential for a little refining. I do like the designs but they are impractical but dramatic for stage prescence.

  2. well I'm currently building #2 from the left - it's been refined since -, so I can tell you soon how practical / unpractical it is...

  3. i see this is a very old post. Did you ever finish the guitar? I am building one now and started as you did with cardboard. i too made 5 prototypes as you did..too funny.
