# Free guitar 3D models for three.js (GLB, CC BY)
https://paprika3d.com/docs/models/guitars
24 free guitars and instruments for three.js from the 159 in the paprika3d asset library (CC BY), as meshopt GLB files: each with its author, license, credit line, triangles and file size, and the asset_search call that fetches it.
## What the library holds
The paprika3d asset library holds 159 guitars and instruments among its 57,732 models. All of them are licensed CC BY 4.0, which asks you to credit the author wherever you use the model; each card below carries the credit line to paste. 1 are AI-generated, from Scenario's 3D Collection, and say so on their card.
150 of the 159 pass the library's quality checks: textured (or drawn in vertex colours, for a low-poly or voxel model), not flat, at most 15 MB, with a name, a description and a real-world height. Among those, the median model has 15,400 triangles, with the middle half between 4,280 and 32,600, and the median file is 0.21 MB, with nine in ten at most 0.7 MB. The median one stands 1 m tall at real size. 1 carry a texture of 2048 px, the library's largest; the rest are smaller. 5 are animated and 1 rigged. The most common styles are realistic (97), stylized (24) and low-poly (21).
## Guitars and instruments in a three.js scene
Guitars are thin objects with fine detail: strings, frets and tuning pegs a few millimetres across. At a distance the strings shimmer and break up, so create the renderer with `antialias: true` and call `renderer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio)` on product pages, where the guitar fills the screen. The finish is lacquer over wood or paint, which `MeshPhysicalMaterial` renders with `clearcoat` and a low `clearcoatRoughness`; the coat needs reflections, so set `scene.environment` first.
For a guitar customizer, separate materials are what let you change the body colour, pickguard and fretboard one by one: find each by traversing the model and checking `material.name`, then set its `color` or a new `map`. In these files, parts that shared one material were joined during conversion, so a guitar with a single material can be recoloured as a whole and no further. The set includes ukuleles; most are realistic (97 of the 150 that pass), and each arrives at its instrument's real size, a median of 1 m.
## Fetch one and load it
With the paprika3d plugin in Claude Code, or its MCP server in any other agent, the agent searches the library in words or picks a model by the id on its card. `pick` downloads the file into the project's `assets/` folder (`public/assets/` under vite), adds the credit line to `assets/CREDITS.md` and answers with the code that loads it at real size. Give `cwd`, the project folder, as with every paprika3d tool.
```text
asset_search {"query": "guitar", "cwd": "."}
asset_search {"pick": "587a34acc79f482184764914b91def2d", "cwd": "."}
```
Every file is a binary glTF (.glb) compressed with meshopt, so GLTFLoader needs the meshopt decoder that ships with three.js. The origin sits at the bottom centre of each model, so it stands on the floor where you place it:
```js
import * as THREE from 'three';
import { GLTFLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/GLTFLoader.js';
import { MeshoptDecoder } from 'three/addons/libs/meshopt_decoder.module.js';
const loader = new GLTFLoader().setMeshoptDecoder(MeshoptDecoder);
const gltf = await loader.loadAsync('assets/guitar-587a34.glb');
scene.add(gltf.scene);
```
## 24 guitars and instruments to start from
Chosen from the 150 that pass the checks: the ones agents picked most through `asset_search` first, then the ones whose name says what they are, then lighter files, with at most 2 per author. Each CC BY card ends with its credit line: paste it into your credits, as the license requires.
