tsl602000 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hi, I suggest you goto www.universaljems.com and look at "kit-section". Brian sells a nice PRS kit for very little money. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AlexVDL Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 There's a CAD drawing in the advanced section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryeisnotcool Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 i know some of the demensions i am building my own design based off a prs, but i am making some improvements like a offset body so you dont rub your arm raw on the top of the guitar if you play hard. then scale is 25" for 22 fret the fret board is 18 5/16" long thickness at the thickest piont is 2 1/8" at the bridge edges are 1 7/16" body width is 12 7/8" let me know what else you need and maybe i can get it for you. but its alot easier with one in front of you if you have any freinds that have one just take it and trace the body out on to a peice of paper and then take all your measurements. good luck!

gw_guitars Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Hi Alex, I downloaded the prs drawing. What program do I need to view (and use) the cad drawing? Gerard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 You need AutoCad or any other CAD program to view and modify it. AutoCad is very very expensive There are a couple of sites where you can download it from, but that's illegal You could also use Voloview to view the file.

Jader Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 wazzup...tks for the draw ..i plotted today....i think is to big...but the measure isnt' correct right?? or printing in 1:1 scale i can put at the wood and cut.. Another questions: I need a guitar with a heavy sound.... what wood should i use...Mahogany with maple top?? :o and for the neck???? what is the standart measure of the neck with 24 frets??? and the angle for the headstock......??? TKS to suport me and my questions ...heheh a lot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 The drawing is scaled 1:1 in millimetres, so when you plot it in mm it should be 100% scaled. I should use mahogany with maple yes! Neck also mahogany! The neckscale is 25" Headstock angle is 8 degrees (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jader Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 tsk so much again hhe there's any other neck design that i can use for the prs...like a side view top view...where to cut....with the measures??????? other question: ex ___________ <- maple top....the tickness?? how much??
