This board is in Charcuterie Lab: Impossible Boards, with 24 more showpiece boards. The book has the full shopping list, the layout, all eight build steps with the trick that makes the shape work, and easy, budget and luxe versions.
Why it works
A paper template does the drawing for you: trace the guitar outline on butcher paper and fill it in. Genoa salami outlines the body and the sound hole, provolone and Gouda fill it, and cheddar planks make the neck.
Long chives become the strings. It's built for music-themed birthdays, graduation parties and anyone who plays.

Questions
How do you make a guitar charcuterie board?
Draw the outline from a paper template on butcher paper, outline it with salami, fill the body with cheese slices, build the neck from cheddar planks and add chive strings.
What surface do I need?
A long table covered in butcher paper, about 60 × 30 inches.
Can I make it ahead?
Cut the cheese rectangles and planks the day before. Keep meat, cheese and cut fruit out no more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. For a long party, build half, keep the refill in the fridge and top it up halfway through.
