Title: Giant 3D Electric Guitar
Post by: ZombieShredder11 on August 20, 2011, 06:56:36 am
I felt like upping the ante a bit by doing something big and three dimensional.  Sure I did a big plane and a UFO, but it just doesn't cut it.  After this big project, hopefully I can create something that'll get me to recruit. :P

I have a guitar cord plugged in that leads down to the other end on the ground.

All of the fancy knobs and doodads. xD

Thank you! Mine could still use some work though because the neck is just a little too short and fat compared to the body.  And the toggle switch looks a little weird since it goes diagonally.  But I'm glad you guys like it. :) It lets me know I'm doing good.

Very nice. A humbucker and two single coils, whatever it is based on it looks like a beast!

Yes, I used my Fender Squire Stratocaster.  At first I was just making a simple and generic S-body guitar but I decided to use my Fender to model off of for the headstock, pickguard, pickups, etc.  Though I did mess up on the tremolo and the headstock.  They're both reversed. :P

Your squire has 4 sets of pickups? When i had mine it only had 3.

Well it has the two single coil pickups and then the humbucker at the bridge.  It's pretty much just two single coils together so it could be considered as two different pickups.

I bought it used but it sounds great and it was my first decent guitar.  My very first guitar was a First Act and it was horrible haha.

Ahhhh, so the the guy you bought it from may have switched out the pickups which is good since the original ones pretty much sucked.

No wonder why it sounds so good. xD

Well the original pickups didnt sound that bad, the biggest problem was that they wouldn't give me a tone when palm muted. It would just sound dead.

I hate that! I like hearing heavy and clear palm muting, especially with the kind of music I like to play.

Nice work! I love Metallica and A7X. Two of my top favorite bands.
