That’s right, I made my own fender guitar bag. Uzi has not seen it and hopefully, he’ll be delighted when he finally does, wherever he is in Manila.
Darn, I miss him.
Well, I made a tutorial for those crafting-inclined souls out there. HAPPY SEWING! PLEASE DO NOT SELL ANY GUITAR BAG THAT YOU END UP MAKING. THANKS.
*UPDATE (Suggested by Renee heehee)
MATERIALS NEEDED: half a meter of thick fabric for the body (i used thick pink canvas for mine); fabric for the lining; fabric in contrasting color for the scratchplate; bias tape; silver-y fabric; buttons; silver thread; grosgrain for the strap; adjuster for the strap.
1. Print a guitar image onto an A4 paper. Trace your image; 2 for the body, 2 for lining, 2 for your scratchplate.

Hey I think great minds think alike, I made one a year ago my son has 8 electric guitars and he has 2 fenders, I was moving them around his room one day and thought it would be good If I could make him some cases to put them in, then thinking about it I thought that a snazy guitar bag would look great.
but looks just as nice in the pink :0)
Sep 03, 2009 @ 07:57:04
In all my years as a guitar player I never thought of making my own guitar case! I’m pretty handy with tools so I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks
Sep 03, 2009 @ 07:58:32
How does a home made case hold up over time??
Sep 04, 2009 @ 01:44:23
Hey,
If you use the right materials like a strong canvas or something simlar like thick nylon then they should last you a while and you can make them quite Jazzy looking too, just give it a go what you got to lose oh and a good strong Zip for it too, most things can be made. :0) good luck with your project

This is wonderful. I have a buddy who’s obsessed with the Beatles, and I think I might make her one of their guitars as a bag. :D thanks for sharing.
