This is REALLY cool. Thanks for making this! This is the best thing since the VRG Builder. Here's what I made:

Musical instrument Guitar String instrument String instrument String instrument accessory


Some suggestions for this already-excellent tool (and I appreciate some of them will be tougher than others):

  • Option for Prestige headstock logo
  • Options for different bridges (Lo Pro, Edge Pro, Edge Zero, and ZR)
  • Option to remove the string retainer bar (like on Edge Zero models)
  • Not sure if it is the lighting or not, but the hardware looks grimy?

Thank you for the compliments!

1. I can definitely look at adding the 'Prestige'version of the logo
2. The different bridges will require different 3D models of those bridges which I don't have unfortunately. I'll have a look around if there is any available, but 'till I do, it's just the Edge for now, sorry about that
3. This will be an option if I find an 'Edge Zero' trem model
4. The grime is intentional, haha, it just ads to the more realistic feel. I'll consider an option to turn it off, but you'll notice that without it, it looks almost too clean and less realistic.

Again though, thank you for using it :)

Few more updates:

1. PGM style body, includes F-Holes and shifted controls (Body -> Body Style)
View attachment 22723


2. Can change logo to the Prestige variation (Headstock -> Logo Type)
View attachment 22724


3. Can turn off the 'grime' for a clean look (General -> Appearance -> Weathered look)
View attachment 22725


As always, enjoy :)
This is a really awesome app. I think it will be better than the VRG when you get it completed.
For some reason, when turning off the weathering, the metal flake matt finish becomes gloss and does not change back to matt.

Also, is there a way to change the heel to AANJ?

Thank you for using it :) Also, thank you for pointing out the metal flake going gloss when turning of the weathered look. I will fix this (y)

Which VRG app are you referring to? Maybe it will give me some ideas to add?

At the moment the AANJ is quite a change on the existing model, but perhaps something I'll add in the future...

The VRG builder was a very old RG/Jem customiser flash based app.
I know you have a laundry list of items to work on but I think a 7 string version would be awesome as well.

VERY cool, this thing is turning out to be really neat! Kudos to you for making it! ONE additional suggestion, which I know isn't necessary as you can add custom textures, but if there was an option to add 1 flame top and 1 quilt top preset for the guitar top that would be stellar.

Still though, fantastic creation for the community :)

Thank you for the kind words : ) -> I'll look into adding those for you! (y)

Nice. I have an RG655 FSO in the mail right now. Frustratingly, it's in my city at the moment as of yesterday morning but it's not out for delivery just yet.
Ahh, that is frustrating to wait on a new guitar!! Having that said though, there's a reason I have 3 655's already, these guitars are absolutely amazing, they have all the greatness of the old 550's but packaged into a new 'Prestige' bundle, can't over state enough how good these guitars are!
