I am working on a guitar, for practice and portfolio Experience. A couple hours in so far. Took me a while to get the top and the sides to go together because of the design I created.

Nice! I like the design, very different looking. user added image

Kinda reminds me of the custom guitars that KISS used.

awesome!

thats pretty sweet.. i also am working on a guitar but its of a more gothic style... my only suggestion with yours (which is only a matter of taste) would be to make it so the longer flames thats extruding out from the middle isnt touching the top to flames... although it could just be the POV.. either way their looking kinda close.... but like i said its a matter of taste... that doesnt stop it from being a fine piece of work

Thanks for the comments. I used a reference image from the internet to get the measurements, so I might have used a bad image. Then I just used the measurements and applied them to a sketch I drew.

I'll attach a top view Psuedo Realism, I think it may be the angle

I am trying to think of something sweet to top the top off but, I am stuck at the moment.

Sweet, sleek and smooth! Gr8 model. Maybe try a simple flaming skull shape for the top user added image
