I don't know which took longer... the designing of this guitar or actually making it! The research alone was painstaking. This guitar represents every Pixar movie to date and includes at least one character from every Pixar movie from Toy Story until now.
Each character took an average of 3 hours to carve but I always had to keep in mind who stood in the foreground of who and work from front to back. Anna and Elsa were first because they stood closer in the foreground. This guitar is the result of over 200 hours of eye squinting carving!
It was really fun to carve but it seemed endless at times because of the amount of detail but I knew in my mind's eye it would turn out the way I wanted if I just took my time.
This guitar is dedicated to my two little boys. Our whole family (my wife Mona, sons Charlie 7, Oliver 5 and myself) have always held Disney Pixar movies near and dear to our hearts and as the boys get older I never want to forget the many times we spent watching all those magical movies. Making this guitar for myself will preserve those memories.
I really hope you like the pics!

It all started with a sketch
I used mahogany and maple wood to make it
The first two characters I carved were Anna and Elsa
I always had to keep in mind who stood in the foreground of who and work from front to back
I continued with the Cars
The Incredibles, and Brave found their place too

This is how the guitar neck looked like at first
Turned out pretty nice, didn't it?
