Mattia Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Plans? Doubt you'll find any. Get a good photo, start drawing. If you don't have Hiscock's book (Make Your Own Electric Guitar), get it, read it, use the info. Materials? The same place you get materials for any other isntrument. About a ton and a half of links out there, on the main page, through google, whatever. Random names: stewmac, lmi, universaljems, guitarshopsupply, customshopparts, guitarfetish, and the list goes on and on and on. Quote
soapbarstrat Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Are you going to use Warwick fret-wire ? I mean the stuff that Warwick wants around $80.00 for enough to do one neck. Quote

chunkielad Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) http://www.music-town.de/onlineshop/herste...reltd_5_big.jpg I found this on th' 'tinternet and will gladly draw it out tomorrow for you if you want - find out the nut to 12th fret length and I'll do it to scale too. What format do you want it in? I can do an .ai, .eps or any rasterised version (jpg/bmp) I like that and will make one eventually (or a tribute to it with changes) so i don't mind tracing it now and giving you a copy. PM me if you want it doing. Edited September 22, 2005 by chunkielad Quote

chunkielad Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) http://www.signworks.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/...age/Vampyre.zip This is a zip file with a 5 and 4 string version in - the saddle is the same for both as I don't have the details of a 4 string version. (there's a corel draw, eps, ai and jpg of each). The neck joint (body section of it) is a total guess as I've never seen the back of one of these. I figured on an AANJ being doable if you wanted how I set it out. WARNING: I ain't gonna gurantee 100% perfection in this but they should be good enough. Don't come sueing me if aything goes wrong!! CHeck EVERYTHING twice before you cut. Edited September 24, 2005 by chunkielad Quote
