In this video we are going to depart from Cars for a little bit and talk about guitars. Even if you don't play, modeling something tricky can be great practice. And this guitar is no exception!
To get started I suggest you do a search for the Chris Broderick guitar and gather some picture references. We aren't going to model the entire thing but we will look at a few key areas.
1. Using forms to model the top face of the guitar body
2. Using surfaces to get the neck to body blend
3. Using surfaces for the neck to body reliefs
