Making a guitar case
Im making a guitar case for a technology project in school and i was wondering what materials i could use and how i would put it together. I think plywood would be best to use but any other suggestions would be great. Also what kind of protection could i use inside to protect my guitar.
Thanks.

Is the case going to be rectangular or contoured to match the shape of the guitar, how thick, is it a solid body or acoustic.
Lining can be a high density foam cut to shape and cover with velvet or a flock finish directly applied to the foam, probably the more expensive option.
Do you want a timber finish on the case or are you going to cover it with another material.
Don't forget decent catches and balancing the handle and room for accessories.
Plywood is fine but 3mm MDF would probably work as well because the foam would add some rigidity and offer additional protection.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.

It'll be rectangular in shape because i could make room for accsessories and its a solid body btw. I quite like the look of some aluminium cases so i might get some aluminium sheets to put onto it.
