mullmuzzler Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 (edited) I'm maybe late, but how did you make the body? Did you use template from the download section, or...? I'm curious, what tools did you use for chamfers? mullmuzzler | OSSMT P.S. How much was the neck? I canot seem to find it on warmoth's site...

Sambo Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Neck was $170 US i think.... Cant remember to be honest It's in the showcase section. As for body, i got a photo of a MM petrucci off the net, blew it up to the right size and made and modified a 1/2" MDF template from that. (modified as mine is only 22 fret). Then rough cut the body with a jigsaw (didn't have a bandsaw then!) and trimmed the body with a 1/2" long template bit (didnt have a router table then either, so this took a while). As for the chamfers, they are different widths all the way around, so to start i used a small V-shaped template bit all the way around, and then a slightly wider one in the bits that were slightly larger (ie around the top and bottom). Then took too it with a small chisel blending in the two, and then much sanding to make it smooth. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
