Classic Guitar

Hey Class! For my project I've decided to makea guitar out of extra pieces from rolls of film. There are various extra pieces, as shown below. I think im going to use the clear plastic roll holder as the sides of the guitar and flatten the roll case (far right) and use them as the guitar with the inner roll piece (third from left) as the strings and neck of the guitar and finally the round tops as the knobs and extra details. I plan on following the layout of a guitar like the one in the bottom picture.




Thats about it! Let me know what you think!

So, how do the film and guitar relate to one another? Can you elaborate?

This is going to look fantastic, particularly with the patterned flattened roll thing going on for the body, and the film as the strings. For that, are you going to slice it up thin six ways, or have a solid strip representing all strings?

Really cool idea, and I would love to see it put together. It seems extremely challenging. But how do the finished piece and the materials used relate to eachother? maybe find a way to link the two ideas and make that part of your design...Maybe you like taking pictures at concerts? or you just enjoy photo and guitar equally the same? how would we know exactly what you are trying to say with this piece?

Hey Zee! Yeah, i was thinking about taking two of my rolls of film and pulling them out and cutting them into three strips so that there'd be a total of six and the actual film could act as the strings.
