What is Scott Kivowitz's definitive guide to photographing a guitar?

There is not a single written “definitive guide,” but breaks down how to photograph a guitar in Photo Breakdown episode 8, teased in this Instagram Reel about photographing a guitar. That episode walks through the image, lighting, and compositional choices step by step, using a real guitar photoshoot as the example.

If you would like, can outline the key steps and settings from a solid guitar photoshoot so you have it in written form.

What kind of guitar are you photographing (acoustic, electric, glossy, matte)?
