Nice work again, Mikey! I am guessing you started off with a coffee stirrer? Actually, you've given me an idea....

no, it's a bit of a con really clive. I had some solid wood pieces 5mm thick. i cut a piece to 4.5cms (1 metre in g scale). a spanish guitar is about a metre long with the neck and body being equal lengths. i sawed down two parallel lines halfway for the neck and then shaped the rest with a dremel sander. A shallow drill hole to represent the sound hole, black felt tip on the neck and for the bridge, frets drawn with a gold marker and the whole lot stained. It actually took 8 minutes from start to finish! Its effective enough for me and adds a bit of life to the camp
