It's a great tool. I can't wait for the Charvel body styles, Stratheads and Charvel logos...

Eric: Awesome work! Just curious, are you going to be putting flame/maple tops and natural bodies on one of the updates? Once again, great job!!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Potentially, yes. My only concern is that I don't think they would look very authentic. The Kisekae site is doing everything right in that area as far as I can tell, and they just don't quite do it for me. More investigation is required.

I've played with it and I do like it better than the kisekae site. lol You did a great job with it.

Is there a possibility of having a paint palette with the real jackson colors on there? You know like Jacksons metallic blue or the Eerie Dess Swirl?

Excellent work.

And it came at a perfect time for me. I've become obsessed with King Vs recently. And this can now feed my obsession.

No problem on the KV measurements [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

For those who would be interested in knowing why the KVs wings look wierd - one wing has a longer bevel than the other - measure it from wingtip to bevel point - but the distance from the end of the fretboard to the tips are the same.

It's also why so many Photoshopped KVs look wierd - the bevels don't match up to the real thing [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Anyhoo, I'll be there when the CD goes on sale [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img]

Alex - If you need Warrior measurements (old-style with the 3 singles), gimme a shout [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I sold my Kelly, but there's plenty of those around here to get measurements off of [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I kinda figured it was you who was somehow involved with the Custom Shop Generator! Yeah, that blue Rhoads you did in Fireworks was KILLER. It's people like you who keep the JCF so interesting and resourceful. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img] Cheers!!

Re: Guitar Generator - A word from the author

The guitar generator is such a tease because it can come up with finishes and graphics I'll never see in reality. I want a day-glo green Rhoads, dammit!!! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]


Seriously, I made a King V and Rhoads in a color similar to the cool Ibanez "Moon Shadow" color, and it looks cool as hell like that.
For moon shadow:
Red: 204
green: 214
blue: 255

It would look cooler if the pic could simulate a heavy gloss or metallic tone. Makes me wish Jackson had more SOLID finishes.
