Thanks for the info!

That rendering is badass Will! I know that had to take some time.

Hey Will, when you made that 3d model, did you already have some pre-drawn/pre-modeled elements for like the Floyd etc. or did you model everything from scratch?

Everything from scratch. A combination of diagrams I found on the internet and measuring the stuff I've got on hand. I would have liked to find some existing models - but I wouldn't have trusted them....lol. I would have recreated them anyway.

 

[slashvanyoung]

Cool. Makes it even more impressive.

 

[STINNETT]

Thanks.

Of course, this is the payoff of all the design work:

Just a question about the "feel" of fretboards; if you're "feeling" the fretboard at all on a guitar with super jumbo frets (AKA anything remotely metal), doesn't that indicate a pretty big error in technique? :zombie:

There's not really such thing as bad technique as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, well you certainly don't want to be pushing down on the strings hard enough to touch the board with normal fretting, but certainly when you dig in for bends and agressive vibrato it's pretty common for your finger tips to slide around on the wood. Mine do.

Yeah, while the string itself doesn't hit the board while fretting it, some part of your finger most likely will, especially while bending.

I just picked up my Tele (maple board) and my Dellinger (ebony board) and the difference is quite noticeable..

Me too. Or I can even feel the string on the fretboard...depending on how aggressive I'm being. If an inlay isn't set in there perfectly smooth...I'll feel it on a wide vibrato or huge bend. About technique...I have no idea. I never had anyone to learn from, so I guess I just have my own. I've been told it's strange...but it works for me!

Hmm, well I certainly do plenty of bends and aggressive vibrato; I guess I just never noticed...

LOL Hey dude...you're copying my technique!! Not cool!!!

What chord is that?

 

[Metaltastic]

Q#

 

[STINNETT]

Is that a chord or a gang sign?

 

[Metaltastic]

What, you mean there's a difference? WHATEVER, I learned from the best teacher there is - THE STREETS
