Hi guys,

Does anyone have or know how i could get a vector file (eps, ai, cdr, or dxf file)
of the exact shape and size of the pickguard of a Stratocaster (HSS) type guitar ?
I need the file to customize my pickguard.


Thanks and greetings,
Joruus

I can see if I can find one

If not, give me a few days and I'll make you one

I'm working on it now, will be done in 10-15 mins



edit:

My computer just crashed, right before I was finished...
I'd like to utter some unappropriate words, but I'll say them silently to myself...

I have gone upstairs to the people I rent an apartment at, and will install Illustrator and get it done in an hour hopefully

But I'll get it done as I said *crossing fingers*

Hmm this is a old topic , does Joruus still need it ?

Posted by: audiopaal Sep 10 2008, 10:58 PM

Hahaha, I didn't see that it was so old
Yeah, well... I've already made it so hopefully he or someone else needs it

I didn't include the Volume and Tone knobs in the vector drawing though, but the pickguard with all the screws and pickupholes are here

For use in Illustrator (You can probably open them in Photoshop as well, but it won't be Vector there...)

Hehe, I can be polite and say: Thank you, Audiopål ^^
Even though I don't need the thing, or even know what it is

Hehehe, thanks mate

I guess Kaznie needs it , he revived the topic
I can imagine this is to be used for some kind of printing on the pickguard itself.. ?

Hopefully someone can put it to use

Yeah, with a vector file you can basically zoom in and out as much as you want to without it getting pixellated and getting distressed
Looks just as good no matter how big or small you make it so it's perfect to design on as you can make it bigger and be very detailed and then shrink it again to normal size and it will look perfect

Did I make sense?


Anyway... I'm probably the only one who cares

Sorry I only saw this one on the bottom of the first gear page and thought it was a week old or some, just trying to help Joruus. Sorry guys! I didn't see it either.

Thanks for reviving it
but i won't really need it anymore since i got my http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=19308&st=20&start=20 that already looks cool enough.

I bought a skin (sort of a sticker) for my guitar hero controler wich looked really great and good quality (same material as used for car striping/logos), and asked the guy if he could make a custom one for my real guitar pickguard.
He could do that but he needed a vector file to have the exact size and shape for it.

I made a quick preview picture of how it was gonne look
Its just a quick image edit.. the black has stars on it wich you dont really see here.
