Meegs666 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 for a beginer it seems easier to do a shape like a v or an explorer, not much skill needed like top carving and whatnot. the main differences between the rhoads polka dot and a gibson is the headstock and the section where the legs of the v come together. the section at the base of the legs, if you could call them that, is more angled instead of curved like a gibson. thats pretty much all i can give you, as i live in the states and know nothing about template availability.

As im totaly new to guitar building , is this out of reach for me . Any thoughts or info would be great Thanks in advance Wecome to the forum! There are quite a few V guitar builds going on at the moment. I would suggest to have a browse through the forum and see how we've gotten along with our builds. There are so many ways to do the same thing. It's going to depend on what tools you have available, what your wood working skills are, and so on. Good to see that you have an idea for what you would like to build. That's a good thing. Be prepared to learn as you go, since as you say, you are new to this. See you in the other V threads.
