[Model: Washburn EA-18]

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.

[Model: Fender Contemporary Stratocaster]

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.

Another guitar related object, this is a model of a guitar stand made up entirely of modified cylinder shapes.

This is a model of a guitar strap with some additional accessories like the strap holders and a few plectrums. I’ve added a noise modifier on the strap which roughens the edges slightly to help give that fabric look.

Here is a model of a guitar effects pedal. I decided to do the inside part as well to give more interest to the piece and also gives an extra challenge. The logo was drawn in illustrator and then exported to 3Ds Max with extrude modifier applied to give that emboss look.
