thanks for the kinds words, marlonjohn. gster123, Yeah I know they are tapered. And I tapered them as well. Since last pic I took a photo of my guitar from far away to minimize the perspective distortion. I then put it in Maya and rescaled and moved things. So now according to the pic everything is in the right place with the right scale. I also modeled the last pieces, so now it's on to the texturing and fine tuning of materials. Here's a pic. Some close-up's coming next time.
