that is freaking awesome, love those GT-40's


How did you create that? Is that some kind of 3-d modeling software?

 

Thanks. Yes, I used 3D modeling for the parts, photoshop for the graphics and a 3D renderer for the final renders. It's rough in spots and the top is flat but for not having worked with a 3D modelling program in about 10 years I was happy with the results.

I've only named TWO Guitars

 

My first Les Paul I named "Lester", and that was actually original for me, but of course I've come to find that it is oh so common

 

And then I got myself one of these

and my wife and I began calling it "Big Red". But I own a lot more than those two guitars, but only two were deserving of the anthropomorphism.

I used to call my 1963 black Strat 'The Old Bastard' because it was so mean and cranky ...

 

But it's now 'The Old Soldier' because (a) 'bastard' implies that it was put together post-facto from bits, which it wasn't, and (b) because when my modern Custom Shop Strat started to misbehave, the ancient heirloom which I considered pretty much retired stepped up to the plate and sounded fantastic, felt great and proved ultra-reliable.

Next, you have to choose an
old-fashioned
ladies name. It can't be anything that a 24 year old would name is newborn baby daughter in the year 2010. Don't call your guitar "Kylie" or "MacKenzie" or "Schuyler" or "Caitlin".

My wife, born in 1979, is "Kylie", so I guess that is out.
