Hi All,
About 10 years ago i was on this site when i was about 16. trying to make my own guitar, it turned out alright considering my age.
But the one thing i learned about that little project was Templates, Granted it wasnt bad when i free-handed the Routing for the pickup's/Neck etc etc.
I want to make a Ibanez Jem/RG, Just the body and without the neck, Just for now, But i was Just wondering a few things,
whats the best way to make templates? as they are quite expensive.
also i just want to start with the Body first, see how i go from there..
and if that succeeds, ill give the neck a go.
And this is Actually What im Aiming for: http://lepsky.ru/assets/images/SERIAL_GUITARS/2976.jpg
Splated Top Rg design without the Pickguard.
I Already have a Maple Splated Top, Ordered off ebay 2 days ago, its about 6mm Thick. http://i59.tinypic.com/6iwa60.png
