Have you ever used the hipshot locking tuners?
i saw these tuners at the musikmesse last wednesday and i was amazed how fragile they lock. i was wondering if they are as fragile as the look.
nontheless i like the design of em!

No I've never used them before actually, but there's got to be a first time for everything.

What software did you use for the first picture you posted? I see mockups like that all the time..

Thanks for the comments you guys!!

I drew this in AutoCAD, and I also used this drawing for the templates.

 

[AwDeOh]

I'm really going to have to try graduate from Sketchup to AutoCAD one day.

 

[foreright]

Autocad is "quite" pricey... Draftsight is free though and produces drawings that are totally autocad compatible.

 

[rcsierra13]

Loving your builds! Keep up the good work!

 

[quoenusz]
