First, I think yo want to have a TRANSPARENT background...you may have to 
Copy>Paste the image...it will appear as an OBJECT on a seperate layer, and 
you can right click the Background layer, and DELEte selected...
The 'Magic Wand " masking tool will be your starting point. Select it,
click 
it in the background, and it should mask the background color (the results 
won't be perfect) so you add to the mask selection using other mask tools.
Once you get the area masked off, you INVERT the mask, so you're masking the 
guitar, instaaed of the background, Then MASK> 
MASK>OUTLINE>feather...feather the edges...say 8 pixels...then hit your 
Delete button on the keyboard.
yOU WILL HAVE TO EXPERIEMENT TO GET THE BEST RESULTS WITH THE VARIABLES,,,
