Members MagnusWyvern Posted January 3, 2010 Members Report Posted January 3, 2010 A customer asked me to replicate an Elvis guitar cover from some photos he had of one in a museum. I'd never done one before, pretty pleased with how it turned out in the end since I dont' do a lot of westernish things, flowers etc. As a note I could have done a lot more with how the coloring came out on the tooling but he wanted it to match the image exactly.

Zipper I bought a long one and cut it to size, it went from the bottom up to the base of the neck. I cut the 2 body shapes out slightly bigger than the case, one I slowly cut to do the front, the other the back, then of course the side piece. Quote
