Took me a little bit of trial and error- but I think it turned out okay. Hope you like it

Nice job!
How did you model the strap?

Thank you!
I used the Loft tool like this:
The more I model, the more I realize how useful loft is for complex shapes.

Great job on the strap. Yes, the **Loft** tool is quite powerful.
FWIW, my favorite tool is **Replace Face** 🙂

Are the tuners functional models?

Kind of? I just assumed it was a worm gear inside the little boxes.
It’s my first time making one, so the proportions are probably really wrong. Way to much gear and too little thread.

Nice PRS, I guess the inlays were a bit tricky. 🙂

Yeah, I couldn’t really think of a way to take a pattern and make it follow a curve. I’ll keep trying though

I used to have a Vai Ibanez some time ago. Wouldn’t dare to try modelling the tree of life inlay. 😅

Oh wait, I misunderstood what you were talking about. The bird inlays were not too bad, I just imported a close up picture and did some fit control spline.
I thought you were talking about these things on the edges:
(Also, very nice Vai! I used to have an older acoustic Ibanez, but I dropped it by accident and it’s neck kinda cracked/split 😅)
