what to do with a broken guitar :/ ? |
So, the day arrived that I wanted to continue to learn to play my mini guitar.
When opening its case, I saw that my guitar didn't make it through our move to Boston,
@_@*_* &_&+~..\\BUMMER//..~+~\\&_& *_* @_@
I wouldn't go and fix it, since I bought it so cheaply and it's not like it was of good quality anyway...
Here is what I did with it:
I took the head of the guitar, and painted the top a metallic light sky blue.
I assembled a gold colored cup hook, that goes all the way through the guitar's head so I could connect it to the wall.
I also added a Command damage free strap to make sure it supports the weight of the guitar head.
Then, I added some gold colored hooks crochets (leftovers from Christmas decor), cause they kind of look like a sol key to me :) it goes really well with the musical look I want to give to the room, and adds more hanging space for my jewelry! yay! :D
It looks great on the pearled tuning keys!
Next, I went to work on the body of the guitar, and the first stage is sawing.
Sawing notes:
# I marked with a pencil where I wanted to saw, and traced that mark with a sharp pin, that bit into the wood. it helped control the sawing's line.
# Don't forget to put on safety goggles! Be Safe! |
a w a y from the edge.
next part is sanding the edges of the opening
does anybody know why the edges are pink and smell like strawberries?! |
this is how the guitar looks like after sanding
Wanna see how it turns out?
