the virtual guitar thread

We've all had NGD's, NAD's, and GAS to various degrees. But how about virtual guitars?

There's a few websites that let us design what we imagine, and I've relied on them to put these images together. If you're into that kind of thing, put up your pics here.

Careful, Reggie. You'll set AZ off on another bout of virtual signature models.
 
Re: the virtual guitar thread

I used the virtual offset builder to do some previews for options for the '51-style Precision I'm building for my girlfriend...

...but I liked them so much, I may just build one, so I came up with this:

What is your method of posting those pics? I have always done it by taking a screenshot and editing it on paint, but it is a little more of a hassle to do than I like, thinking there may possibly be an easier way to post the pics.

That's pretty much it, until someone figures out how to add a "save design" function into these flash apps.


I did this with the JCF Generator several years ago, and post-work in Paint Shop Pro:

And 18 months later, UPS dropped this off:

Re: the virtual guitar thread

I can't remember which site I made this on.

Here's one of my first Tele.

Here's my version of a Fender '51 that they haven't made yet.

Re: the virtual guitar thread


I once had a Strat very similar looking to this... it had a Diamondplate metal pickguard and three Hot Rails. It was a killer. Don't remember why I sold it but I miss it.

Heres some of my creations:

This one wound up being very similar to the Jonathan Donais signature model...

Just for fun and cheeseballs. ;)

I just made this the other night... kind of a Curt Mitchell inspired axe.

Found some more from way back in the day.

I don't know what I was thinking here.

I was trying to make this look like a Dr Pepper can. I think next time I'll leave the red flakes out and just stick to using that dark cherry color.

Re: the virtual guitar thread

This year's project. A partsocaster will be good for throwing in the back of the car and not stressing about at gigs (as opposed to lovely and expensive gibson archtops). I'm thinking a jerry Donahue in the bridge...mebbe a PG in the neck with a push pull coil split. planning on doing a warmoth compound radius fat backed strat neck and getting the body routed to fit.

I've used Kisekae, USACG and Montag. Mostly, I take a screenshot, paste to MS Paint, crop the unwanted edges and save to a file.
