nwtrailtrekker Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 oh whoops used photoshop for that, then print screen+paste it into paint, and it was a biotch to work with from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I don't understand - unless you are sponsored by a company, why would you basically provide free advertising for them? I'm sure there is something better about yourself to play-up than an affinity for a soft drink.

nwtrailtrekker Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 hmm its weird the .png format works great for me when using it on my MS Paint. kinda strange. maybe its photobucket screwing me over.oh and those dots, are actually knobs, all the white parts within the pickguard are pretty much off limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewp80 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You could put the buckeye leaf stickers on the top of the knob, pretty cool. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I'm more a Les Paul & older Ibanez guy--so my pickgaurds tend to be smaller-(My Ibanez acyually doesn't have one, and the Les Paul only has one because it's black, and when they get scapred up they look awful, but my blonde Les Paul copy is pickguardless, since I removed it.)-but you could still work with it--I knew a guy who did a custom pickgaurd from wood, and inlaid a picture of a bird using different colours of wood to show detail--it was very cool.Still cool idea.It works best when the concept extends to the whole guitar.Go here for a site to create the full guitar as a phot--I may post some that I did...

I've been playing around on the site posted above since summer break as I find its a great way to combine my two interestes. I've actually been planning a Seahawks Telecaster style guitar which I'm going to paint this summer. I finished my concept last weekend and was waiting to post it until I got my guitar finished so you could see the start to finish process. It's currently on my school computer and I'm at home, so I might get round to throwing it up here when I get back. Anyway good to see others of you thinking along the guitar lines, I'd be interested to see what some of you with great photoshop abilities can come up with. I also know of a site where you can do some other styles of guitars, such as explorers, Vs, and BC Rich type stuff, Ill try to post that link when I get back this week.

CM Punk has a Pepsi tattoo because he just likes Pepsi.When I met the Punk last fall, he was drinking an energy drink made by Coke. How was he in person? He seems like he'd be pretty down to earth. I don't know anymore though. It'd be hard to be jovial being as completely misused as he's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpc21 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I like that, I have a hand drawn concept (and no scanner) of a Flying V guitar done in Edmonton Oilers with "ooze" like that. The guitar is their dark navy, with the bozne ooze with the red outline like seen on their jerseys, flowing from the neck toward the back of the guitar. I think it would look killer, I just need the money and time, that one is a few guitars down the line.Here is the link to the site that has other styles of guitars to play around withGuitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
