The Electra Forums

Off-topic... "I must be a frickin idiot" (Dr Evil voice)... but I have never been able to get an avatar to load on this forum. "The avatar’s filesize must be between 0 and 6 KiB." I have sized and resized down to a dot and still nothing. I'm using Photoshop, setting color at RGB mode, 72DPI or 300DPI, all the way down to 6KB or so. 50 pixels by 50 pixels and less. What the heck am I doing wrong? PM me! thanks.

Style A - I like it a lot.

Price is very reasonable as well.

Looking good - I'd go for a long sleeve - or short - or no sleeve. Long sleeve is a nice option. Pricing seems realistic to me.

Agreed, pricing seems fine and the shirt is awesome. I can't get an avatar up here either, and it seems others have that problem also.

I'd be a starter at that price - it is a boutique item after all!! - for style A; there will be a colour choice of shirt?

Thanks all (again) for the encouraging replies. After "sleeping on it", I think I might want to put some more time into the logo if someone has a REALLY good photo of their headstock with this logo. If you do, post a link to the photo here or (even better) email it to me at: mdcounts@comcast.net I want this to be as perfect as possible and could use a better resource to make it so. Thanks!

Can't wait to pre-order one! Also, it seems a little high on the chest, no?

~ the logo is a little high on the chest on the proof. I'll make sure it is lowered a bit. Still waiting on a good photo if someone has one. The shots I worked from off the 'Bay weren't bad, but a better resource would help.

Will pink be a color choice? Hot, flaming fluorescent pink?

I would buy this before black. Dead serious.

My kind of fella (several BOLDFACED winking smileys to follow here, are we clear?)

Seriously though...

A fluoro orange & hot pink tie-dyed with black graphics, the Electra script logo smaller across the left breast and a large (8-12") Electra Peace sign logo on the back.

It would be beautiful, man.

They'd sell like hotcakes at ElectraFest, Phish concerts, Grateful Dead fansites, alt film festivals... the possibilities boggle the mind.

UPDATE: This morning I put my Electra case in the photo studio and did a clean overhead shot of the Phoenix and Electra Peace logos. Then I traced them EXACTLY... so please disregard the Peace logo on the earlier attachment. If anyone here on the Forum is in Northeast Florida (Jacksonville, FL area), I'd love to photograph the headstock on an MPC with the Gibson-style logo so I can get a clean image to trace.

More designs will be finished and attached to another reply to this email thread later this week.

Regarding the talk of the color on the shirts. I haven't talked to my vendor yet on seeing if I can mix and match some colors. It is very possible, so some 80s hot pink may be a reality. Unfortunately, tie-dies will not be an option. I'll have to sell alot of these to really make any significant money on the venture, and I do not expect that to happen and am fine with it.

Awesome, can't wait!

Hahah nice to see this is getting reeled back in a little more from the tie-dye and hot pink......

Black shirt, size small, done.

XXL - and black (or white) please.

No other colors necessary IMHO.

Also advise of final price and shipping when yo get to that point.

Thanks,

C'mon guys! Allow Warrn and I the moment to dream our little dream. At least we are thinking in terms of more ELECTRAfying color schemes.(LOL)

Whichever color is fine by me but you gotta admit a 8-12" diameter Peace Sign logo centered on the back would be pretty frickin' sweet. Of course I have zero idea what production costs would run on such things, I am only dreaming out loud.
