Where do you get the images for your woods? i've only found about 4 pictures that are useful, and cannot find a decent ebony

Most of the pictures I take myself of wood I own. Other than that it is pretty hard to find decent pictures of wood. Google is all I can say.

how do you draw the guitar(the black part with the body,neck and the head)???

[jeronimofesto]

I used to use a combination of black circle brushes of different sizes to get the shape. Then use the circle eraser for other parts. Very tedious and not very efficient.

Now I just used the pen tool and draw a vector shape. Way too complicated to explain. Sorry man.

so how long have u been making instruments? and would u have any advice for someone who is going to make thier first very soon?

[vaneboyd]

Hablas horrible!!!!!

I`m not surprised that this task is so arduous, you`re instruments reflect a desire for perfection...and why not, it`s you`re name on the headstock! I`ve been saving to hopefully one day own a JC`er.

I look forward to that day...
