shredding metal with a paper guitar

let’s just say that you love guitars - their looks, their sounds - but you can’t afford one, or let’s say that you can afford one but you can’t rationalize the expense, or let’s even say that you can afford one, you can rationalize the expense but you can’t and likely will never learn how to play one as well as your favourite note shredder.

well thanks to the people at paper guitar, you can own not just your number one top of the list dream guitar but a few of the other guitars on your list as well. what’s the catch? well as you might have guessed from the website’s moniker, they’re made out of paper and they’re not quite the same size as the original.

but let’s have some fun with this one all the same. paper guitar has a list that numbers 25 guitars at present including some classics like the les paul custom black, and jimi hendrix’ famous psychedelic flying v.
the guitars are downloaded as pdf files and from there you’re into some careful cutting and pasting. the guitars are pre-”painted” so there’s nothing in the way of finicky detail work for you. a little rack of these on the wall of your daughter’s dollhouse, or stuck in the hands of your favourite ken doll or barbie would do the trick!!! have fun and remember not to press too hard on the strings!!
