Tat Strat

[Justinginn]

I want one. If I start studying now maybe I can draw tattoos all over stuff in about 6 years.  :sad:

Gorgeous guitar.  :glasses9:

 

[Peccavi]

Absolutely brilliant! I love doodling abstract stuff like that on paper (it was one of my favorite pass-times in school), but I never thought of wood-burning something like that all over the body. If I had any skill with a wood burner, I'd give this a shot. Can't wait to see/hear the finished result.

This is amazing! I'm inspired I love the look of intricate woodburned designs. Can't wait to see it finished!

More pics, or you effed it up and had to burn it.... WE NEED MOAR

The project has been progressing slowly, but I hope to get all of the neck design drawn in pencil within the next week. Here's what I did so far:

DUH - ROOL!

what fantastic execution of an AWESOME idea.  :icon_thumright:

. . . so are you prepared to start taking orders from others? I can easily see a (admittedly niche) market for this work.  Anyone else think so? :dontknow:

I wouldnt mind a woodburnt 'inlay' on my next project headstock  :laughing7:, if purpleheart looks alright burnt  :icon_biggrin:

 

[Cagey]

Purpleheart might be a bit dark already to burn, so the design wouldn't jump right out. But, that might be the uber-classy way to do that. Something subtle, that only a chosen few can see and appreciate. From a distance, it would just look like texture, so the head wouldn't look naked. Up close? Godzilla, shamelessly smashing Tokyo once again! I like the idea. Not smashing Tokyo, just subtle monstrosity <grin>

I'll draw designs for guitars but I don't have the time to do woodburning projects. If anyone wants custom designs of the tribal or abstract style, just PM me. I could also do Celtic, comic book art, etc.

I can already see, this is going to need a tribal neck plate.... :laughing7:

After I get closer to assembling this thing, I'll be looking to get a black neckplate engraved with a custom tribal design and some info about the guitar.

 

[Paul-less]

This is going into my "spank" folder....  :icon_biggrin:

 

[Soloshchenko]

Wow, only just seen this thread. What an incredible build.

I think after this you should offer your services as a guitar tatooist. That honestly looks quite amazing.

 

[Patriot54]

Almost done drawing the designs on the neck, except for one fret. It's such a small space to draw in, especially after the 12th fret, so I decided to get as much detail in there as I could. It won't really match the body as much as I wanted but they still look good together. I'll post photos of the neck and body together after I clean up the artwork more. As you can see, all the designs have a "fret dot" in the middle which will be untouched by the woodburning - so the fretboard will still have kind of a Strat look to it, within the large rectangle inlay pattern. I can't wait to start burning the neck within the next few weeks.

I just gets better every post

That's such a brilliant idea.  I'm just finding this thread now but I'm really excited to see how it turns out.
