That logo badge is awesome! Is it plastic? How did you make it?
Thanks!
I designed it in Sketchup. It was 3D printed by Shapeways in plastic.

Been playing around with 3D modelling again. Came up with these fools-gold foil pickup covers!

Oh man, those pickups look so classy. Really solid work there. Any plans for what you'll put them in?

thanks. Not entirely sure yet. I have a blackwood jazzmaster that I might put them in.

Beautiful work . . . VERY nice.
When thinking about any advice given always ask yourself "why would (s)he know more than I do".

Very nice work with the covers. Those will add a touch more class to what they go in.

I'd like to get some printed in white too. and maybe use different coloured backing, instead of gold.

For other colors, I could see silver or a color to match, or compliment, the guitar color.

Wow that is beautiful. The perfect color blue. Also, I'm a sucker for a good pun guitar name.

These are great! There's a really nice Art Deco vibe about them.
I'd love to see them with aluminium casings too.
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Now that is cool! I love that blue. It's just about the best blue for a guitar. Classy, striking, beautiful.

Looks really beautiful, but...
I thought you were getting away from doing other people's designs?

From following the thread, it looks like he has several projects going at a time. Even if his new projects are original designs, he almost certainly has a backlog of unfinished older projects that he needs to get through.

That's correct.
There was never any immediate deadline to these builds. It's great to finally finish some of them.
