Author Topic: Design Your Dream Guitar (Read 30998 times)

Hey everyone, ever have some cool ideas in your head about what your dream guitar would look like?

Well I found this cool website:

http://www.nymphusa.com/kisekae/kisekaeE1.asp

If you scroll down, and click on the model of your choice, you go through to a virtual guitar builder program thing, and get to $%&# around until you have created your monster guitar!

Here's what I 'created', for lo-fi scuzzy kind of wierdo angular, retro things:

I'd have a low ouput humbucker at the neck (humbucker to counterbalance the feedback from the f hole - which isn't too visible in the photo), and a nice meaty tele singlecoil at the bigsby-equipped bridge. Keeping it simple with just the two controls, one for tone and one for volume, and the pickup switch beneath the pickups for quick switching. Stick it into a fuzzbox and away we go! Somewhere between a classic Danelectro, a Les Paul and a thinline tele...

Design your own and post them, and then cry over the fact we have no money!

'print screen' it, then upload it to photobucket, imageshack or whatever. There's loads of different templates on that website, including ibanez, jackson, LP, tele, strat etc, but unforunately no Jazzmaster :(

Same thing. I made this Dragonburst Strat with bigsby Filtertron bridge strat middle and tele neck. I want to save it.

Great site btw. Too bad there isn't an explorer.

I took a digital pic of the screen. I'll post it later.

^you can get an explorer on that jackson site i posted up there, ratrod.

Much less options than the other one, but at least it lets you get some different body shapes.

and as willo said, just use "print scrn" and then paste in paint.

I've done some Jacksons on that site. It's pretty cool. Somehow the print screen thing doesn't work.

No bigsby available on the jackson forum.

sorry, I might not have been clear enough there. You need to do 'print screen' which is kind of like 'copy' - and so you need to 'paste' the image somewhere. So open up Paint or some similar program, and paste it in there. Save it, and then upload it and link to it here - hopefully that makes a bit more sense!

Also, I just clinked the link myself and it didnt go where I wanted it to?

So go here:

http://www.nymphusa.com/tele/

you'll see a 'design your own' kisekae guitar or something, click there et viola! Loads of different guitar shapes! :D

Cool waste of time. :)

I have a guitar kinda like the jackson one here and I've just ordered parts for the SG-ish guitar. No BKPs though. :( I'll have to wait til I can afford them. Sucks for me that the CND is half the value of the pound, so BKPs are double price for me.

Here's me trying to replicate my heavily modded 81' Gibson Les Paul. It's a little more blue/less green but overall a not bad likeness. The guy I bought it from redid the sunburst finish himself. There were no blue/green sunbursts in 1981. :D

That blue green sunburst looks fantastic.
