About this pattern

A red electric guitar standing upright: a solid body with two matching horns either side of the neck, a white pickguard with two dark pickups, a gray bridge and two gray control knobs at the lower right. The long dark neck is crossed by white frets and ends in a plain brown head with three tuning pegs on each side. No strings are drawn. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 27 by 56 stitches and uses five thread colors.

27 stitches wide by 56 high: 830 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Winter White 3865 and 2 more).
