acdcrocks Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Is there someone with templates for the neck cutaway of a gibson SG, LP, Explorer? I need some for reference in shaping my neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 you mean the profile of the back of the neck? or perhaps the heel...please enlighten us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobot Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I think he means the heel. I don't know about those necks, all I can find is strat templates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 when i hear shaping i think neck profile or heel contour, not bolt on neck router template...left brain perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcrocks Posted July 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 heel i dont care about, i just want a cutaway view of the neck at the 1st, 7th and 16th frets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian d Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 If you go to the gibson site www.gibson.com and look at any particular model, it will list the thickness of the neck at the first and 12th frets. (for example the SG standard neck is 0.818" thick at the first fret, and 0.963" at the 12th) If you draw out your neck profile, there will be a straight line between those thicknesses and continuing to your heel, so you get the thickness at any point on the neck. Hope this is what you were looking for. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. ← yes but i think he means he needs help making the heel. he asked for a TEMPLATE! i was very stuck, but on explorer the end of the heel is about 2 inches right of the 1st string tuner. unfortunateley i cant scan my template, i made it from a 2 by 4. lol good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
