Yeah, this is coming along. Welcome to the forum too.

[michael conan]

thanks for the welcome.   i added ebony material to the saddles for the wound strings and bone material for the b and e strings.
i used the material graph (after watching the great webinar on advanced material control) to add bump maps  for scratches and fractal surface distortion, and an opacity mask to the roughness channel to break up the shine a bit. also softened shadows using a plane for lighting.
on to the other parts!
