Dude he used it to translate numbers to colours and I'm sure the images will get used also. It's totally getting used.

I used both! I used the fender chart and found there are loads of gaps, so I went to yours to fill the gaps. Aswell as having more pics you had better nicer better quality pics aswell
:)

However it was your first chart i was on, not your photobucket one. I think your photobucket has even more which I havnt yet looked at...

So yeah, Thanks!


Also, just made these:

21 - Natural body:

50 - Butterscotch Blonde:

If someone feels like it, they're welcome to finsih that off and then make the background transparent and the image to scale. I've probably overdone the green/yellow tint a little.

I like that guard, looks cool.

I have added on the tuners now, white and chrome. and a DuoSonic RI bridge taken from the new Squire model. The mustang guards have gaps between the bridge and guard, because the duosonic bridge isnt as wide, need to make some duosonic guards :P

also, I was thinking we could add colours of the natural body i made to make some trans colours.

The era of Duosonics that used a mustang shaped pickguard had a hardtail bridge that matched up to the pickguard. we need those in 3 and 6 saddle versions

As for the idea of having the older duo bridge available, one option is to edit the pickguard images so that there is no bridge cutout, then have the bridges on a layer above so they overlap the guard, creating the illusion of a cutout. I'm not sure how neat that will be or how good it will look. But then that bridge isn't designed for that guard anyway, so it doesn't matter too much.

I've noticed you've ditched the bit of rosewood behind the nut in that pic. Is that a permanent change? The original pic wasn't bang on, but it looks a little odd.

I was thinking they (or someone else) might put it on their site if it isn't copyrighted here. Then I remembered it has nothing to do with a strat or a tele so they wont be interested. Plus if they stole the blank images to make their own version it would only have the sunburst, black and white options and they already have pictures of all of those.

I just tried photoshopping the Squier Duo pickguard on the mustang body and its a completely different fit... i scaled it down and the waist curves dont match up and the bridge is lower down. Hmmm.

About the bridges, I had that idea of having no pickguard cutout, everything is already on layers so that could work easily.

The rosewood behind the nut i will correct now, i just shiften the headstock too far and it overlapped it.

I found my photoshop project and uploaded it to the server I use. There are a bunch of decals, pickups, inlays, pickguards etc..etc.. I'm sure they will all need to be resized, but a lot of the editing work is done. I even started working on a Jaguar in the same project.
The project is unzipped and I don't know how it will open. Hope it helps out.
