Wangcaster Guitare
I guy who bought a Guitare remade it and this is how it looks like
Comment from his page:
“This started out as a Cort Stratocaster copy.

I got told that I should start using Gimp as I use Photoshop most of the time.
So I did and this is what came out.
I get asked what that thing on the bottom is. It’s a Latex Tux Costume what you can wear if you like it. You can buy the suite here
