This is my first sculpted/3-D cake, and of course my first guitar cake. Many thanks to Lucy18 for her help and advice. I'm pretty happy with it overall, but I wish that it wasn't so thick, and that the strings were better. I did make it to scale but it ended up being about 1 1/2 inches thicker than I had planned. Next time, I'll know what to do and what not to do. I did begin creating the "Gibson" logo out of fondant but just ran out of time. Funny how that always seems to happen!
