Thank you for finding the rest of the images. While, yes, it might be overkill, I am also looking for durability and quality. I have some foam props (Elks staff from .hack//infection is my major piece), but they’re fragile and tend to crack or chip, which is why I’m looking to invest a little extra for a higher quality prop.

Hi, and thank you for your reply. You have some fantastic pieces, very nice work!
To answer your questions, the guitar doesn’t need to be functional, but if its possible, it would be a huge plus for the cosplay.
As far as the plastic goes, I wouldn’t have an issue. I know this poses a bit of a challenge for the functionality of the guitar, but in the end, it is a prop for a cosplay vs a real instrument.
Some more images of the dimensions and such are below:
Thank you much!
Hi, and thank you for your reply!
I am unaware of the exact dimensions of it, but here are a few more images to get a better feel for it.
Show by rock kinda threw me for a curveball as far as animes go. I wasn’t expecting it to be that great, but I quite enjoyed it. Hope you do as well! 
Sounds like you’re in the initial stages of this project. Printing will come, and quickly, after the long journey of researching the physics of stringed instruments, and design costs. When you get to the printing stage, find a hub that offers large build volumes, to accommodate the single piece design.
best of luck
Hi and thank you for your reply!
I agree that the torque of the strings on the neck would cause would be high. If there is a way of making this functional, I’m down for exploring those routes, as it would make the prop (and therefore the cosplay) more realistic, but my main focus is the prop itself; functionality is nice, but secondary. 
Hi and thank you for your reply!
I greatly appreciate you being a guitarist, and therefore, your knowledge on both these two subjects. My question thusly is that I understand that making this a functional piece will be difficult, so what would your thoughts be on the best way to design this so the prop comes out as intended (top priority), yet still a functional piece? As mentioned below, and as I’m sure you know, the strings will cause a lot of stress on the neck for a functioning piece; would you reinforce the neck or are there better options available? Thank you much
Hi, and thank you for your reply!
Yes, the entire thing would need to be assembled.
No, I dont have any files, just the images posted above.
I understand the costs of labor/time/etc as far as these things go, which is why i’m not terribly concerned with a budget, within reason, of course.
