smitty Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 When making a guitar body from a bought template, the template is a 2D outline. Do you have to guess the countours on the other axis? Like on a strat style guitar, the "gut rut" or whatever, lol. The hollowed out section where your stomach would be when playing the guitar.

Phil Mailloux Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Yes, you have to guess it since your template doesn't show you how to do it. But it's not very difficult, just look at pictures of guitars you're trying to reproduce or better yet, look at a real guitar. Just make lines with a pencil where it starts and ends on the top side and the back and rasp away until you're satisfied with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
