trebor Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I am still in the design stage of builds. I want to develop builds using existing bodies/guitars that i already own. I have simply drawn the body shapes onto paper to transfer to templates. I eventually want to design from Autocad from scratch. I have a little trouble defining radius curves to any accuracy. I can design my own from this method but i need to practice this in Acad. I have seen complete plans for some models i.e. Les Pauls and Strats. I have misplaced my bookmarks. Does anyone know of a good resource that is available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 We're constantly adding tutorials and to-do's for future publishing. The CAD series I am still writing should cover most of what you're talking about; things like developing designs from face-on photos, existing instruments, etc. I've made templates from existing bodies using a end bearing-guided router bit double-stick taped to a body more than once. It's the most direct method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Do your tracing or sketch on a piece of graph paper this will allow you to get mor accurate x&y coordinates. Plot as many points as possible the connect your arch's using those points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
