We can all agree: knowing how to play the guitar immediately makes you look way cooler. I mean, who doesn’t love that guy who pulls out the acoustic guitar at every otherwise enjoyable party? Who wouldn’t want to hear a crappy cover of Oasis’
Luckily, there are products like the guitar coffee table and the strummable real guitar doorbell so your guests know just how into music you are. You can even impress them with a totally convincing electric guitar toilet seat! Today’s product fits neatly alongside these other instrument-shaped home essentials. Say hello to the DIY guitar stool!

How To Choose The Right Guitar Chair For Practicing
Instead of mass producing the stylish seat and making a million bucks, the creator generously posted step by step instructions on the website Instructables.com, so literally anyone can make their own DIY instrument stool at home if they’re prepared to buy the materials.
The entire guitar stool construction can be completed in 12 relatively easy steps, although a background in instrument-building or woodworking might come in handy.
Steps two through five are about choosing, cutting, and polishing the right wood. Then the instructions move onto building the neck and head and assembling the truss rod and fretboard. Eventually you’re ready to use the leftover wood from the previous steps to build a sturdy leg for the stool.

Once finished, the seat of the stool is made from a real electric guitar’s body, the back is the neck of the instrument, and an additional body serves as the base for added stability. Each stool features real metal tuning keys and an authentic guitar design.

As one fellow DIY-er with the username “Fatgnat” stated, “I love this! I am creating a music room in my house and these are perfect. Thank you.”

Some of the stools shown in pictures even feature a double neck design, just like the Gibson that Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin played! So you’re pretty much placing your buttocks on a piece of rock and roll history - just bask in that glory for a moment.
Since the guitar stools made from a real guitar are just a DIY project for now, there's unfortunately nowhere to actually purchase one. But hopefully someone will start making them and selling them online! The closest thing we could find was an Etsy shop that's selling side tables made from real guitars, or at least made to look like areal guitar.

Our tiny garage apartment doesn’t have a lot of extra space. But I’ve been tired of keeping my guitar stuck in its case in the corner all the time and wanted to get it out so it was more easily accessible for playing.
So when I started thinking of a way to make a guitar stand that didn’t take up a lot of space, I also started thinking about how to make it multipurpose and also allow me a small space to store my music books.

So this simple scrap plywood stand worked perfectly and came together really quick. I’m sharing the free printable plans over on BuildSomething.com and I’ve got the quick tutorial and video below.
To start this project, I browsed my shop for ¾” plywood scraps. I love building with plywood, so I typically have lots of random off cuts and leftover pieces to pick from.
I found a leftover panel of birch plywood in my plywood cart and a few pieces of leftover hickory plywood (from the kitchen cabinets and laundry room remodel) in my scrap bin.

But, if you don’t have scraps to pick from, you can purchase a ¼ sheet of plywood and that’s more than enough to complete the project. Check out the plans to see the cut diagram.
I ripped my scraps down to 12″ wide on my table saw just to get everything consistent first. If you don’t have a table saw or are working with a large plywood piece, check out this tutorial for how to cut down plywood sheets quick and easy.
From these pieces, I cut two stool sides, a top, and two small pieces for the guitar stand on the miter saw.

I wasn’t sure how deep to make the section that my guitar will go into. So, I dry fit the pieces together and brought out my guitar to test fit before putting anything together.
I assembled this project using pocket holes and screws, so I drilled ¾” pocket holes along the top ends of the stool sides using my Kreg pocket hole jig.
Once that part was together, I dug around the scrap piles some more and found two small pieces to use as a shelf and a seat support.

I drilled pocket holes into the ends of these pieces and installed into the stool base with pocket hole screws. The top seat support here was basically just for looks, but I wanted this bottom shelf piece as a place to store my music books.
Once the stool was put together, I laid out the guitar stand pieces and attached them together first, then attached the whole section to the stool.
I thought at this point I was finished, but when I brought my guitar out again to test fit, I noticed it tended to rock side to side and wouldn’t stand on its own.

So I ended up cutting two small pieces of ¾” plywood and screwed them into the bottom of the guitar stand edges.
This helped with the rocking and allowed the guitar to stand on its own in the stand. I’ll probably go back at some point and add some felt or some sort of padding along these edges to protect the guitar. But for now, I just want to play.
