mullmuzzler Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I've mentioned in another topic about the Pensa replica blueprint I'm working on. Here's the preview. Tell me what do you think.

GregP Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I don't know what makes a guitar specifically 'Pensa-like', but I know that those are some clean-looking, meticulously done drawings. Awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarMaestro Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 hmm....nice drawings, but I would prefer the PU switch to line up with the potis.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 But that would make it less Pensa-Like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 But that would make it less Pensa-Like Based on the picture, I'd say that the knobs and the switch position are a little off in the drawing. In the picture, they seem to arc from the volume knob through the output jack. In the drawing, everything is in-line. Top job otherwise. Much better than I could manage.

asm Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 he redrew the ibanez logo to make it vector format, and that looks cad or vector.. so ill take he drew it for 100 please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted April 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I don't know what makes a guitar specifically 'Pensa-like' Down-sized strat shape body with slimmer horns is main characteristic of the Pensa Suhr guitars. Based on the picture, I'd say that the knobs and the switch position are a little off in the drawing. In the picture, they seem to arc from the volume knob through the output jack. In the drawing, everything is in-line. Top job otherwise. Much better than I could manage. Thanx, Jehle! As far as the knobs go, I did them in that fashion cause I wanted to put them away as far as possible. But, it's not end solution. Maybe I'll do it as original for the sake of the 100% Pensa Suhr instrument. he redrew the ibanez logo to make it vector format, and that looks cad or vector.. Actually, it is a CorelDRAW 11. Once again, thank you all for the kind words! mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted April 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2004 OK, here are couple of new drawings. This time I drew headstocks for my EBMM/Ibanez JPM7 crossover: and for the Pensas from the top of the page: The 7 string headstock (upper one has edge chamfers, like the body) is based on the Conklin shape, which reminds me of redesigned Ibanez shape (in-between RG and IC, at least to me ), and the Pensa one is fairly accurate to the original. Early Pensas had "P custom" sign on the headstock, not the "Pensa custom" as they have know. Fortunately, my name starts with a "P", so it's kinda neat. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazyderek Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Here's the afore-mentioned 7 string guitar in full. mullmuzzler | OSSMT man that's awsome!!!!!! anyone else thinking that peghead is just a tad fat though? maybe it's just my tired eyes? but i love the inner line at the top of the peghead, are you planning on doing a brian may kinda finish job on there?

GregP Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 To my eyes, it's about 2-3mm too fat on either side at the widest part. But only after you mentioned it, otherwise I woudln't have thought twice. I only mention that first because the rest of the post goes something like this: Dude, that's some seriously kick-ass display of vector-drawing skill. I sure wish I could pull that kind of stuff off, but I think right now my 'to do' list of things to learn is so long that adding another thing to it would be folly! If I'm not mistaken, Corel still offers educational discounts, though, so it might be really cheap for me to get into CorelDraw. Moreover, the actual design of the guitar is sweet. The combination of the 2 styles is seamless and inspired. Looking forward to a build if you get around to it one of these fine days! Take care, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Fancy Making me one? Wait until I DO build the first one. If this thing turns to be good, I'll make more using CNC router just to be sure that it will be cut precisely. I have nice piece of basswood for the body. I need some hardwood (purpleheart perhaps or bubbinga) to combine it with maple. Can't wait to start! man that's awsome!!!!!! anyone else thinking that peghead is just a tad fat though? maybe it's just my tired eyes? but i love the inner line at the top of the peghead, are you planning on doing a brian may kinda finish job on there? To my eyes, it's about 2-3mm too fat on either side at the widest part. But only after you mentioned it, otherwise I woudln't have thought twice. Well, yeah. I modified it yesterday to be slimmer. Maybe I'll modify it to smaller in overall dims. Dude, that's some seriously kick-ass display of vector-drawing skill. I sure wish I could pull that kind of stuff off, but I think right now my 'to do' list of things to learn is so long that adding another thing to it would be folly! If I'm not mistaken, Corel still offers educational discounts, though, so it might be really cheap for me to get into CorelDraw. Thank you all! I dunno about educational discounts at Corel. All the stuff I know I larned by myself. I'm using Corel since version 3.0 (Windows 3.0 - ancient history!) are you planning on doing a brian may kinda finish job on there? Like his home-made? I'll do a sparkle blue-burst (airbrush) solid color for this one. The next one will be mahogany with 20mm maple top (carve starts at 30mm, so there will be 5 mm natural binding). That one I'll try to finish in trans red-burst. I have a killer stain from my dad. Once again, thank you all for the kind words. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 shoot, i meant brian moore... The way you had the drawings shadded made me think of their headstock, i think it would be interesting to try a guitar with that effect carried thru the entire guitar, course i think alot of weird things are cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullmuzzler Posted May 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Yeah, kinda like that one, but with sharper edge chamfer. mullmuzzler | OSSMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
