Timberkits Gutarist

img

The Guitarist is one of four musician kits. The other three kits are the Drummer, the Pianist and Woody Blues. I purchased The Musician Pack, which includes all four.

Finished model from the rear. The long vertical pushrod operates the strumming right hand.

The round cam rocks the body once per revolution. The triangular cam strums the right hand three times per revolution.

Box, parts and instructions.

I should have glued the neck of the guitar further out on the guitar body so as to not interfere with the strumming right hand. I beveled the edges of the hand and neck so they push away from each other as they pass. But the hand still gets hung up occasionally. It would have been better to keep the neck away from the hand all together. Remember, once the glue dries, there's no going back.
