About this pattern

An acoustic guitar seen straight from the front and standing on its end. The body is honey gold with a waist, a round dark sound hole inside a brown ring and a dark bridge bar below it. The dark neck is crossed by evenly spaced white frets and ends in a brown head with three tuning pegs on each side. A dark brown outline runs round the body and the head. No strings are drawn. The left side mirrors the right. Full crosses only. It is 25 by 58 stitches and uses four thread colors.

25 stitches wide by 58 high: 770 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Medium Old Gold 729, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 1 more).
