NEW Forum Truss Rod Cover Design Contest

[veinbuster]

When is the competition closing (or did I miss that somewhere)? I've seen a few I would be more than happy with.

This is really just a collection of ideas. A few will be picked for voting in a bit.

 

[RichardJ]

Cool, apologies for my impatience.

So I re-reviewed this thread, and although it isn't necessarily going to depend on it, the designs so far that really pique my interests are:

Lynn's bird and moon, with or without border, and with or without the PRS Forum banner:

rugerpc's guitar shape forum-neck:

JustRob's bird+moon = guitar body, and forum neck:

Those are the three that really caught my eye today. but yesterday others looked great too, and continue to so so. I think any of them will be a great adornment upon several of my PRSi.

So I look forward to the final draw-down...

In my ongoing quest to post 4 million designs. I've also been messing around and adding some borders that I think look pretty nice as well. Here are my designs with the border added.

Yes on the borders! These are so nice.
My vote is on the top left.

Agree regarding the borders. I think I would choose top right though. I was into the ones with Paul's signature, until I realized that his sig is already up there on the headstock. (I could go for top middle as well. Not entirely sure right now!)

Hmm what if you were putting the top right on a private stock though? That's two PS eagles next to each other. Haha, I agree with you though, hopefully there's a good selection when it comes time to vote.

 

[Chuckblues]

Just take my money ! I'd be proud to have any of these on my guitars !

Oh, to have that problem...

I dig the bottom two!

 

[Korina Jack]

Some more designs... Not sure the limitations on the etching and if you can have different shades and tones but I'll throw it up anyway and maybe Shawn can let me know on the paisley background...

These are nice!!! The inlays on the birds will look great.

 

[Korina Jack]

Here's another idea to consider...

Love it!!!

 

[Korina Jack]

This one, hands down. Period, Take my money now!

Wow! Pua inlay for the bird, abalone PRS signature and mother of pearl for forum on ebony! Take my money now!!!

 

[Korina Jack]

Thank you!

Here's one on some wood with abalone. Not sure if it would be possible to inlay such small details but thought I would mock it up anyway.

OMG! I want one!!!

 

[Shawn@PRS]

Hey guys,

I think we need to stay away from design which contain the Private Stock Eagle. Sorry.

Oh well, there are already some awesome designs nonetheless, and I'm hope there will be some more!

 

[Dusty Chalk]

How about a dodo or a roadrunner?

 

[HANGAR18]

I agree.

ps Everyone here likes PRS but not everyone here likes Maryland so designs without a reference to Maryland may have more mass appeal. That way each state could have their own state PRS fan club truss rod cover.

Crow.

Crow.

Raven.
