This template transforms your lyrics, poems, vows, or messages into a flowing text layout that fills the guitar body while placing your title along the neck. It is designed to be simple to use while still giving you precise control over spacing, readability, and overall appearance.

Zoomed view for checking lyric spacing, flow, and readability before export.

Quick Start

  1. Paste your lyrics into the lyrics field.

  2. Enter a title (song or name) for the neck.

  3. Enter the artist name if you want an engraving credit included, leave blank for none.

  4. Choose vertical or horizontal orientation depending on how you want the guitar displayed.

  5. Adjust font, size, and spacing until the preview looks balanced.
    (It will take time to get it just right)

  6. Use the close up preview to check flow and readability.

Tips for Best Results

  • Longer lyrics fill the body more evenly.

  • Short titles work best in the narrow neck area.

  • Smaller text behaves like finer detail and conforms better to curved edges.

  • Adding an extra refrain helps getting things to fit.

  • Adjust letter spacing to fine tune density without changing size.

  • Always preview at real size before cutting or engraving.

Important Notes

  • Scaling the entire design preserves spacing ratios and keeps the layout consistent.

  • The close up guitar preview is meant for judging spacing and visual flow, not physical size.

  • For engraving, avoid ultra thin fonts. Medium weight fonts usually produce cleaner results.
