I got the new Bender truss rod covers that I designed in from the metalworks today. They came out better than I had hoped. They don't look nearly as good in these pics as they really are, but you'll get the idea. From this experience I will definitely be designing custom covers to fit Gibsons, Epi's and maybe others. Not with this design of course but I've already sketched a few out. Must get Hell going first though.
And the pics...
The nice shellwork is totally bleached white on the logo and Bender "B" from the lights but it is there.

Wow, those truss rod covers look fantastic, Syo! I know I'd want one on my Bender. Very classy!

I've just read the entire thread and the progress of the design and company in general is impressive! I very well may be in line for one the "tele" type models.
I'm looking forward reading the entire thread,
I've just read the first and last few pages, and enjoyed the photos.
Have you considered putting a quick and easy copyright on your images?
Welcome to The Fret, Dragon Rider. I should probably read over the whole thread myself except I don't want to be faced with the fact that my projected launch date(s!) were horribly off. You'll certainly notice this if and when you read it...
Regarding copyright, I suppose I should start including that with my images although it never prevented me from being "borrowed" from in the past. This thread (although certainly available to anyone) was posted for my Fret brothers here. My whole approach was to share ideas and it seemed rather too much to post legal protections as part of it. I do appreciate your thoughtful suggestion however. Everything on my website will be suitably copyrighted.
Speaking of images without a copyright, I have to list one more T-shirt design. I had this almost finished a month ago but just dusted it off and finished today as a graphic for the website. I'll try to send it off to the T-shirt folks this week.
As always, comments appreciated. Particular color scheme is Guiness Head on black. My favorite combination!
Yea, copyright is kinda of like cheap bicycle locks, it just keeps honest people honest.
T-shirt looks good. You going to sell them directly or through some place like cafepress? (where you could do coffee mugs, etc?)
