Artist's Comments

This is another work using a quote, this time by Steve Vai; 'God gave the gift of artists so that people can dream while they are awake' To me, it is a particularly meaningful quote, being a dreamer myself. I used a laser cutter on a CAD/CAM system (based on Corel Draw) to cut this out, but the wood was prepared and finished my hand. The lazer cutter usage may mean this section isnt appropriate for it, if it isnt, lt me know and i will move it. THe design was handdrawn, then scanned and outlined in Illustrator, then into Corel Draw for 'printing'

edit - better pic, less grainy and a better angle

Thanks. Been intouch with a mate of mine (Angelus from his days on deviantArt) and were going to seriously look into making some real guitars and basses, like this, an possibly with other quotes and shapes. (this one is modelled on steve Vais own Ibanez JEM, i forgot to mention)

wicked idea :horns: i use a laser cutter loads - they're ace : i don't think you're in the wrong section with this, there is as much skill in prepairing the files. if you want to start making real guitars and basses tho the laser cutter wont help much. (apart from cutting out jigs) check out my latest guitar on my page... nice work :coffeecup:
