Er, since the Stang and Jag bridge parts are pretty much the same, imma just shoop the Stang bridge with the Jag tail and call it DONE.

I will add a forest green body colour now, and an input thing on the bronco guards.
Also, I'm gonna add screws to all the guards rather than drag n dropping screws on.

Cleaning them up now. Looks fairly decent that way.

I'm going to maybe make two of them, one with the trem arm and one without.

Question, how does the app handle putting the strings on? I basically just took the image from my "Bronco" and cropped down the bridge part, and took a Fender.com pic and scaled it down until it matched the bridge from the app, then placed the Stang bridge on it. However, I dunno bout the lines for the strings.

Cool, I will just draw the strings on in flash. They look alright cause its a small scale.

Total rush job so this looks kinda shite, but I'm at work and are not supposed to be fuckin with GIMP here. If Zaph or anyone wants to muck about making it cleaner, go for it. Later I'll pop one together with the trem arm on.

right, that duo bridge has been annoying me for a while so i drew one based on robroe's photo with flat lighiting. be brutally honest if it's too "cartoony" or whatever.

I think it looks good! I will add it on in a bit and compare it with the other one.

Eh. I'm not a wiz with this sort of stuff but here's another set and attempt at the Jaggy bridge. Made the background transparent this time.

WTF there's some artifacting around the trem arm that isn't in the original. WTF? - NVM. That's the chrome highlights.

Don't know if it is planed but will it be possible to have a possibility to "relic" the guitars in dressing room (like at offset guitars)?
I am looking for a mustang, jaguar or jazzmaster
