I'm looking for 3d models of electric guitar bodies.

Hi just saw the body absolutely fantastic!! thought you might like to see this can anybody guess who made it? i picked this guitar up a few years ago.

Very nice, Any chance you can attach a few sound samples? Maybe one from each pickup undistorted and the same overdriven.

The Al will have a phenominally high "Q" factor as compared to wood and I would love to see if that comes through the pickups.

Bet you didn't have to do much with sheilding the electronics cavities.

I once read (back in the early 70's) about someone making a les paul body out of marble. In addition to be a heavy sob it was reported to have incredible sustain.

Jackson?

Hmm. Can't see the whole thing. The Ali neck a number of people do, but this apparently does not have wood inserts or relief cuts on the back of the neck. Thats one clue, but the real giveway is the bolt-on Ali fingerboard with the round fret markers covering the setscrews. My money says thats an older Electric Guitar Company unit. Am I correct? Do I win the guitar?

sorry errrrr-errrrr not jackson ali or valeno its a Bailey,he made a lot of aluminum guitars mostly if anyone remembers the Travis Bean guitar well he made a lot of necks for those. Also he made the paul copy ya see in the pic,s but this one was one of the special ones he did he only made one like this solid billet aluminum neck with a wild looking headstock #23 bailey which im pretty sure he only made 25 aluminum guitars (dont quote me on this though)

[mar999]

not a bolt on fingerboard solid aluminum neck

anyone got any gcode for a guitar body - just want to doa test run on my cnc machine which will be finished fairly soon - love that ally guitar body at the start of the thread - there is a guy in the UK (in Sheffield) he makes guitars out of ally and steel - pretty damn good as well .I do plan to make some ally guitars at some point - maybe when my stock of mahoganny and maple runs out.
