Damn, that’s clean

As long as it shreds! Dope blue fade on that bad boy

Fuck no

Seems you also sometimes get resurrected 1Y+ necro posts in ‘Hot’, but otherwise yeah you get a lot more post diversity

Better than having me contribute garbage content and drowning out good content with my garbage. I’ll post when I have something worth posting

Something important is missing. Is this a protest against all the bean memes?

Good question! And hard to answer concisely. Sometimes I consider myself an artiste, but this time I was a little more lazy in the artistic department.

I found a photo of another guitar whose tiger stripes looked good to me. I did a perspective transform on the photo to get a flat-image view of the stripes. I traced the image with a bezier curve and did quite a bit of tweaking, and I lined up the stripes against an outline shape of my guitar.

In places where a stripe would wrap around the side of the guitar, I had the stripe change angles so that it is orthogonal to the edge of the guitar, so that the stripe would stay perpendicular to the edge. I created some offset curves parallel to the guitar body profile, offset by a distance of the guitar’s thickness to give me an idea of how far the stripes need to extend past the outline of the guitar to wrap around properly. I used the mirror of the image for the backside of the guitar.

I used a Cricut cutting machine (and the official Cricut software) to cut out the stripes onto an adhesive sheet. Then I put the adhesive sheet onto another adhesive sheet (something called a “transfer sheet”), to facilitate putting it onto the guitar. And I did the same thing for the back side. I then peeled off the transfer sheet and wrapped the remaining part around the sides with quite a bit of overlap for the front/back.

I originally was going to use the negative as a mask for painting (or maybe just paint the negative from the positive mask), but the original adhesive was such a great color already that I decided to just keep it as is and do a clear coat over that.

Don’t get me wrong, I think there should be porn on lemmy. It’s great. I just don’t want to get kicked out of the library. Or have a situation where I’m on the train/bus and some toddler is in the seat behind me looking over my shoulder. Edit: yeah probably should block any nsfw in the latter scenario

I didn’t know that about Mastodon. That sounds pretty cool!

Lol you definitely got the color scheme “nailed” down

I’ve really been digging this one. I was hoping they’d show what’s going on outside, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised otherwise. And of course it’s way way too tempting to spoil it by looking up the books’ synopses.

Btw a Cricut or similar can work wonders for this kind of thing if you prefer drawing on a computer. I had it cut out the pattern on an adhesive sheet instead of applying/shaping masking tape by hand. Gets a little wonky on the sides but I think it still turned out pretty well.

Yeah it’s definitely not for every situation but I’ll pull it out when it’s needed.

A bolt extractor / easy-out will help you turn the truss rod. (Something like this, make sure you find the right size: amazon.com/CRAFTSMAN-CMMT14108-Spiral-Screw-Extractor/dp/B09NCZCRWL/ )

You don’t necessarily need to remove & replace the truss rod nut; you could just use the tool to help you turn & adjust it.

Also check using a straight edge to see if a fret is popping out. You can use a soft mallet to hammer it back in.
