ShreddyKrueger Posted August 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 i changed the body shape, and saved it as the same file name, so the new one is where the old one was. you can put the image in a CAD file, but it'll just be an image. if you want a really good view of it, you'd have to have the actual CAD file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperywombat Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 As soon as I saw your base ideas, that was flying to my brain! If you end up building this, I am SO psyched to see the result. <-----I love Batman, I love guitars, It's perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I think that design is way better than either of mine, by a long shot. I think i'm gonna use that one. Thanks for the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 im thinking of doing a spiderman The body will be the spider on his chest. The only thing is that Gibson did a spiderman LP so its sorta seem like i took the idea from that. I didnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 here are the CAD drawings of the full body and the new headstock, much better looking, I think. The Spiderman idea sounds cool, I've seen the Gibson Spiderman LP, I think the Spider body would be much better. Post some sketches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 that might be wierd to play. I got the parts for mine from the flying V blueprint here: http://www.guitarbuild.com/modules/mydownl...ewcat.php?cid=4 Is it going to be a bolt on, neck-thru, or set neck?

ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Here is an idea of the finish i'm gonna put on it. The Hardware is going to be gold, not chrome. Any other ideas would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum5545 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 The yellow would be cool as the gold/magenta Mirage paint by Duplicolor. Or just yellow metal flake. Or do the black as black metallic. Or both! Neck inlays (side or front) should be yellow LEDs, and Headstock MUST be. It'd be really cool if the headstock LED was bright enough that you could point it at the wall and it'd be the batman logo projected onto the wall! Knobs should have some sort of matching yellowness to them Pickups should be yellow/black covers hardware should be black. Ebony fretboard. That's all I can think of at the moment.

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 i like ski's idea, BTW shreddy, LOVE the new avatar! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I was thinking of doing the metal flake/ gold thing, but i couldn't get it on there. I already have the neck, but i have to mod the headstock to be the one in the plans. Dude, I Have to do the 'Bat Signal' on the headstock. Excellent idea. I was thinking of inlaying the batman logo with gold mother of pearl for the bat, and green abalone for the ring around it. then out of between the horns on the headstock, that's where the the light will come out of. Or maybe, i won't inlay the logo, and just make that have the yellow LED in it. The second one will probably be easier, cause i would have to get a lens with the bat logo on it, so most likley the second. I think that Gold hardware would accent the black body more. If it was black, it would just blend in. I alos like the idea for the pickups. I was thinking of doing somthing like the Voodoo series of guitars from gibson. Do one bobbin yellow, the other black. And do that for both. Thanks for the great ideas skibum. Thanks silvertone for the compliment on the avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 hey how do i put a pic without losing the qualitybadly from a CAD to a Bitmap or GIF format. I have the first sketch of the Spidy Project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I just fit is as best as i can in to the CAD window, then hit the "Print Scrn" button on my keyboard. Then I put it in paint. You lose some quality, but not alot. P.S. I think we should re-name this thread "Super-hero Guitars" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 my prtscn button doesnt work. What can i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddyKrueger Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 you can just select all of the lines and such in TurboCAD, and paste them directally in to paint or whatever. But it is alot smaller, and you lose lots of quality. I'll look some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
