...ROCK OUT!!!
(lol, that was off the cheesemeter)

But really:

Done on Flash. It took AGES to de-pixelise the insignia >.<

But the Autobots won't be able to hold the charts without competition:

I think this one is the better looking one of the two.

After being satisfied with these, I went on and made five guitars (A Warrior, King V, Star, Soloist and Kelly, respectively) based on the Predacons:

I'm well proud =D

The first two are extremely similar to the ones I drew up.
As a guitarist, I gotta say i'm liking these.
The cutouts for Razorclaw and Tantrum are a pure work of genius though, using the classic style with a sharper edging, it's, well, awesome.

Although I'm partial to my Boss 302...that I need to start makiing.

I need cash.

Hey thanks!
I would love to become a luthier, I'm bristling with designs, but my woodwork and hand-drawn art is generally not super. I have a few books on how to make guitars, though I can't afford the supplies atm.
I could probably make one that I myself wouldn't mind but I'm not sure if it'd sell, I really need to practise my woodwork more! Seeing as I didn't take neither art nor graphics at GCSE I can't really apply to be a designer either xD. I suppose I'll have to keep it as a hobby, I'm taking three sciences and maths at A-level. D=

Have you had any experience making guitars yourself Sherade?

Not a whole lot, but enough to start.
I can shape bodies, install pickups and such, string it, and paint/laquer it.
Unfortunately, I need a pre-esixting neck which I can rework, and I can't make the sculpting in the body for pickups and such. Which my friend can help with.

So yeah, enough for now, I'm content.

Beats me. xD
I've got neither the resources or the money to even start on a guitar yet, I got manuals and such, and I'mma gonna start practicing on cheap body blanks soon.

Model-wise:
Razorclaw is a Jackson Warrior,
Divebomb is a Flying V
Headstrong is a Star
Rampage is a Jackson Soloist
Tantrum is a Kelly

Good lineup. A B.C. rich woulda fit perfect in there somewhere...

Anyhoo, I forgot to ask, how did you make the art pasky, like, where'd you get the patterns and stuff?

I would just like to say that those are awsome, and that you have inspired me to make my own custom autobot/decepticon themed cigar-box style 3-string guitar. :grin:
