Hello,
Peter P. asked me to post the guitar I am building. It is a Fender. Maybe
next week, I will have the strings attached.

I am not very satisfied with the body.
Here is a part of the scene file.

Any suggestions???

#declare gbodyform =

I'm not familiar with this particular model. All my guitars are much
more rounded at the bottom end, more like this:-

  19,          // number of points      Increased
  // the <u,v> points
  <-.15,-0.01>,
  < 0.0, 0.0>,
  <.05,.001>,
  <.15,.04>//<.18,.04> ,                These three
  <.19,0.13>,//<.195,0.13>,             control points
  <.145,.25>,//<.135,.25>,              moved slightly
  <.13, .32>,
  <.145,0.42>,
  <.11,.48>,

  < 0,.5>,

  <-.19,0.13>,//<-.195,0.13>,           control points

  <-.05,.001>,
  <0,  0.0> ,
  <.15,-0.01>

Please post the finished article when it's ready, I'd really like
to see it in more detail as I might get one of these soon.

My sincere thanks, Steve,

After trying all kind of variations, you managed to supply me with the
necessary corrections. Hat's off to you!

I will proceed with the strings and hope soon to post the scene file!

Could be... the guitar has to be tuned *very* strangely to suit the
guy's lower number of fingers. It might also have to go with less
strings. But it's a cool idea on its own :)

I will post the present files (still in development) in

the present file will be enough for those muscial aliens.
