Giant 3D Electric Guitar

ZombieShredder11 · 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.

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

The headstock, tuning pegs, etc.

All of the fancy knobs and doodads. xD

Top view. (I had to use WoM to go beyond the clouds because the guitar is so big.

Very nice, its better than mine because i built mine standing up and the world height screwed me over.

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.

May i ask what guitar you used to model that?

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.

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.

hmmm did u put those in there or buy the guitar used?

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.

Nick3306 · August 20, 2011, 10:08:02 PM

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.

ZombieShredder11 · August 20, 2011, 11:14:49 PM

No wonder why it sounds so good. xD

Nick3306 · August 21, 2011, 02:56:09 AM

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.

ZombieShredder11 · August 21, 2011, 03:40:25 AM

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