ZE GAGGLES, ZEY DO NASSING!!

You dragged that one kicking and screaming back into life.

White buttons and CBS stock

Can someone with the black forum theme tell me if I did enough transparency around the white buttons?

4th and 5th ones have stuff between them.
4 has some crap to the left of the actual metal post.

Edges are quite rough too

Boo urns. I realised after I'd got them the right size that I should have done the rest of the editing first. I'll do them again.

I'll do some bits, what's still going?

Tort pickguards
knobs
pickups
other bridges (duo, tom and tailpiece, whatever you feel like for those)

I shall see what I can do.

Ok those should be better.

If they're not, I won't be insulted if somebody does them better. I'm not great at the small details of edges and that.

It's hard to find a decent straight on shot of a 'stang with a tort guard thats not too small or too compressed.

It doesnt need to be a stang. Really you're just looking for a good shot of tort. Then you could use the ply from a different guard for the edges and outline shape.

Chrome buttons. They look a bit matt finish. I might try and find some shinier ones another time.

I'd have liked to find a more even and less compressed image but this should be alright. Sized + stretched a little to fit dan's image a bit better:



I AM GETTING FUCKING TRIED OF FILE NOT FOUND MESSAGES, I HAVE TO RENAME AND REUPLOAD IMAGES ON AVERAGE 3 TIMES BEFORE THEY SHOW UP FOR FUCK SAKE.

Ahem.

Let's try again.



Actually looking at it now I'm not happy with that at all, I'll try and do sometihng better.

Get rid of the switch holes too. The screw holes are ok because they're always going to be there, but it'd be good to have the option of no switches. Keep that guard though, because some of the Mustang ones do (unfortunately) look like that. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have 4 or 5 flavours of tort anyway.

Modern style pearl.

Ah yeah I forgot about those.

Photoshop just decided to close when I pressed ctrl + s and forget everything I was working on so I'm now annoyed and I think I'm gonna just leave that tort to rot, I don't like it.

This has happened more than once in other programs, is it a strategically placed shortcut or something wrong with my keyboard? :/

I'm doing a tort based on this guard then I'm going to bed to read some Bill Bryson.

I used yours as a kinda template and did a better guard:

Someone wanted me to photoshop them some tort before, and the easiest way was to do what you just did. But finding good pictures of tort that aren't covered in strat shaped holes is a nightmare.
