Nice one!

Is it just me or is there a cat face figure in the guilt?

I like the colour and how it works with gold hardware.

Though the headstock looks mabye a bit too massive due to the rather big cutoutie thingie, it looks good otherwise

Yeh I like the white one too..

Mabye because the snowcloud looks a bit too flat and the outer line makes a nice, more outstanding binding for the white one.

I think you should give the binding a thought

Well the fastest way would be Google So you'll find, this on PG: "Black Ice Over Drive with a Tweed Amp Crunch By Ansil Gregory"

And of course, as Robert succested, search the forums

Niicee

BTW Ii didn't actually realize how big the guitar is until I saw it in Megan's hands.. because it looked normal-sized on Matt

Hi again!

The story for waking up this old topic is, that as i got my broken HDD back to work by exchanging it's electronics, I found some pics on my desktop and a browser bookmark to this topic

So I thought I'd do something with this design and post it here to see if I've got any better in the past time and also to show that I'm still keeping an eye on the forum

Well, it looks like i've at least found some of the possibilities of Photoshop, if not else

So gimme all them oppinions and critics

Here it comes:

Peace,

Erik

Okay.. i worked on it and i think i'm getting somewhere. It Still needs some work though especially on the lower-left horn, but it definetly is better than my original design

Marzocchi-Thanx, those horns are way better and give me something to actually start working on

Aslo thanks, skibum, for the tip. I will use it

Sorry mate, but one word, BAD!

I am not glad to bring it up to you like that, but thats the truth. It looks like a two minute job on autocad with every BLOODY SINGLE CURVE THE SAME ANGLE AND PROPORTIONALITY. Absolutely no skill has gone into this. sorry but the more I look at it the more messed up it is. But still try like me by drawing on paper and then onto the computer and try to make every line exactly as you want it because a slight change could cause the whole body to look bad overall.

Keep trying.

Well, rokeros, im sorry too that skill doesn't come overnight.. As said before this IS my first CAD-project aswell as my first guitar project. As for the curves i'm not looking for any freaky-monster style for my first project(witch doesn't mean freaky-monster style can't be good ), rather i'm looking for something simple but a little different than Strat or Tele.

I'll say it again, just incase it got missed on page 1 with all the pointy bashing going on. We need a front on pic, we cant really judge it as with the wa the cad is set, the guitar is leaning back away from us, so it goes out of proportion even further. If you can do a pic face on, i'll be happy to photoshop it to where i think this design should go, then you can go from there, then others can do the same with te design, and eventually youl come to a design that aestheticly pleasing, aswell as playable. I think with the upper bouts the way they are it will be hard to play sitting down (it looks like you wanted that element in the design), the upper left (one closest too your head when playing) will sit very high on you.

Okay, ill add the pic so you could give me a hint of what you think is bad about it.

Heres the pic:

Hi!

I'm trying to make a guitar in TurboCAD for the design and templates.. so i've got that far:

or

Do you, guys think those are any good? And if they are, which one is better?

(Btw. this is my first CAD project so.. )

Thanx,

Erik

Hi! I'm thinking about making a solid body for a Strat neck i have.

Now the first question would be, which wood to use for the body - alder or maple?

Second, about the finishing:

Is it fine to use water-based dye, a rattlecan black for the burst and do i need to grain-fill the woods if i use industrial lacquer?

Third, ill add the sketch i made whilst in a class and maby you guys could help it get a bit better as i'm not actually that good at drawing.. specially on drawing a guitar well

Anyways thanks beforehand,

Erik
