Mr. Becker:
k its been a while since i've posted anything on this.  Frankly, its cause ive been busy.  but i have put frets on the neck and some of the pickups and controls on the body.  For some reason, the edges on the guitar are taking on a purplish hue, i'm not sure why, but hey its a work in progress.  If anybody has a link to where i can get a better view of what the pickups and such look like, i would be very grateful if you would share  :P.  Anyway, here is what i  got so far.

Nice i am not sure if this is the right term to use but i like the 'knobs' in the sides,really nice modelling!:)

Mr. Becker:
thanks.  i'm hoping to later add a bump map or something to add ridges and such along the sides. 
but as i was modeling i realized something, the strings are gonna be trouble.  any ideas? i was thinking just extending a cylinder and bending it to fit on the neck and headstock.  (btw i'm not a guitar player, just a metal head who loves this piece of history. so sorry if i get any terminoligy of whatnot wrong)

The strings can be done with extruding a spline. Draw a spline where the string is going to be and make a n-gon (the amount of sides is all up to you: 12 sides should be enough, but you can also choose 6 sides and subdivide afterwards.). Then select the n-gon go Build>extrude, click 'path'>ok and then click on the spline. Then simply copy the string 6 times.

Mr. Becker:
aight thanks man
