[Model: Rickenbacker 4003]

I’ve decided to complete my guitar model series with a bass guitar to round things off. Unfortunately since I don’t own this wonderful guitar I had to use lots of reference photos showing different angles to see all the small details.

The modeling for the bass guitar was slightly different to my other guitars that I’ve done since the head, neck and body are all in one piece, so I’ve modelled them as normal seperate objects and then connected them together at the end.

Since I’ve enjoyed modeling my electric guitar that much, I’ve decided to do my acoustic guitar as well using the same techniques and method I’ve learnt from the electric model.

It was much straight forward making the acoustic than the electric as it had less complicated geometry. The trickiest part again was joining the neck and head part together but by using my previous experience it became less time comsuming.

I’ve used some of the same objects from the electric like the screws to speed up the process a bit. The wooden structure on the interior of the guitar body was added to give that extra detail to the model.

Here’s the completed model of my electric guitar. I started by box modeling the large main parts like the body, neck and the head and then adding the detail parts later.

The part that took the most time doing was joining the neck and head together seemlessly into one object and trying to getting the geometry right, at the end I had to redo it a few times to get it the way I wanted.

I’ve really enjoyed modeling my guitar and looking forward to rendering it one day.
