Just got done modeling this one in 3D. I took measurements of my H4. Going to do a Stringmaster next.

Russ, I had one just like that only it was gold.
Parents got it for me out of Sears Catalogue in
1953. Guitar was damaged and went in the garbage
(which I regret to admit).
Thanks for the memories.

Hi Brad,
I just used standard AutoCAD. AutoCAD 13 has some good rendering materials that can be applied. Surface modeling in AutoCAD is still in infancy. I simple drew this one in solid 3D and then rendered.

Russ - I'm sure many of the forum followers would love to see a stringmaster model.
It would be really cool if you could create a dimensioned drawing of the body from it. - Ed |

Thank all for the kind words. I just started the string master drawing(s). I'll post a new thread when I have something tangible...

I just got a carcass of one of those off eBay. Before and after. Still need to make a bridge cover.

Very Cool !! I thought it was SketchUp but AC13 is awesome.
My CNC can Hog those out All day long. It just takes money and stir.

Now if we could just play that H4 in the digital realm virtually that would be REALLY cool...
