How to make a PS2 Guitar Hero controller out of scratch

Step 7 The Body - 1

Draw your desired guitar shape on 2 of these papers (maintain the proportions to the neck). I chose the shape of Gibson Explorer (the shape of the original Xbox360 controller), because it is easy to draw, cut and stabilize with slat pieces.

So cut the shape out with scissors, make the edges finer. Cut out a piece of the slat, it's size must be the same as the length of the guitar. It will be the main slat. Make a hole for the strum bar - it must fit totally, still it must be stable! So measure it precisely. Make a hole for the wiring of the strum bar. Then cut it in a way, that the neck could perfectly be fixed on it by screws and some glue. Hot glue it on the back of the guitar (back paper shape). Now cut 4 other slat pieces, one to each edge of the guitar. Of course you need to measure the circuit board, etc. to make sure everything will fit from those slats. Glue and possibly screw everything together. Make some holes for the wires passing from one part of the guitar to the other. Now fix the neck to its place (with glue and screws). Don't spare with the hot glue because you'll regret it later.
