Description
Made my Gibson ES-335. This is my most detailed model to date. I could still spend time perfecting it. The archtop was hard to do, as well as the sunburst finish in Photoshop. Used Tony Lynch's wood mats in Bryce, as well as the texture map. The bug and glasses are mine and the hat is Don Tatro's.

Nice job on the guitar! I bet that bug would be capable of some interesting chords with the extra arms... :-)
Great model. This must be an older one now most 335's have a stop bar tailpiece and dot inlays. Always wanted one of those and a ES 175. Settled for a Chet Atkins Tennesean for a while and a Rickenbacker 360/12. Great pic.
lol... very well done!
...And a hand for a smoke...hammering away with the axe..would love to see it on a piano!
Exeptional work.
Exceptional modelling work and such a cute bug :) **
"Oh, life ain't been no picnic for me, I said, life ain't been no picnic for me, Oh, I'm a bug with the blues, As you can plainly see." :^)
Terrific modeling. Those extra arms sure look handy. Ha! Get it? Handy? Umm... nevermind.
That bug must have bitten me for sure. Awesome modeling and good choice of texturing.
The extra arms make for an awesome technique, but I note he hasn't sacrificed everything to his art. :) The model is good; although I think the knobs look a little too small, and shouldn't there only be one selector switch?
lo, excellent!
Your modelling skills continue to impress and grow. Excellent and funny image.
