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. :)

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

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...

VERY COOL! One of my favorite steels! They never looked better! Here's one of mine, with Junior Brown's signature on top....

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. :D
