Paul

i want to create a 3d model of a guitar. what ways are there to help me create it with the software i have, as in importing photo files or a scanning the guitar itself?

Answer
if you meant to design 3D guitar on computer, you could simple collect measurements and re draw image in 3D editor like Sketchup

could be use to take photos and place visually into rendered object of guitar body

if you meant to actually make model as life size copy,
that would require laser scanner and printer
