    First welcome to Bit-Tech!! You didn't just join to ask me that I hope :)

    The programs I use:

    Google sketchup
    Photoshop CS5

    All the pics you see here are made in sketchup. Many people dont know about the styles setting in there. Instead of looking like crap you can "render" your shape using the styles pallet... I then export as a 2D image and do a tiny bit of CS5ing before uploading.

    navidsonrecord do you still intend to redo the case as you said? its a pity you dont live in the uk as i could cut/punch/bend that profile easy in eny gage alu(0.5-6mm) and you wouldent need to weld it(less hassle and no warping)but i think you should keep going as is as it looks very very good and you have the art of fileing down to a tee, loveing this build mate! oh and my mate tells me your guitars give him a boner........

    hi all just thought i better post this to explain whats happend so far regarding my offer of help with jaspers build. unfortuetly due to geting a new job i wont be able to help in the same way as i posted i.e punching and bending of parts as i cant do this at my new job( aerospace aluminium welding) i would still like to help as best i can......i just hope jasper dont knock on my door with a view to "kicking my head in"(lol) for wasting his time.i have told jasper about this but thought the bit-tech community should also be told to,so if peple have wonderd why this has taken a long time its not jaspers fault,but mine.......hope this helps.

    Holy thread bump Batman!

    Yea she is on hold still until I have finished moving house, I still haven't settled in after 3 months due to work and courses all over the country.

    But Trust me when I say something amazing will happen to this build soon. Which will include:

    Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
    Fiber Optics
    Sandblasting

    More details coming soon
