azz-230 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I apologize for my spelling RGGR i dident think it was that bad but obviously it has disturbed u so i am sorry Those black marks are actually black paint I spillet on accidentally, its all sanded of now The template i used for cuting the body was from a Jem bodey .dwg file i got from this website, which i printed out on 4 pages from my desktop printer and stuck together not the most accurate method i know so i was a bit off in the meshurments plus im not exacaly a wizz whith a jig saw (it was the first time i had uesed one) but i have fond a plan printing service now so i shant be haveing that prob againg hardware color shal be black peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 was this template in turbo cad or similer? if so you can show me how this works the whole template printing,i cant manage to print it off in parts and stick togethor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azz-230 Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 It was all done in a freeware IMSI turbo cad goto file/print then click on page setup make shure your set the scale to 1:1 under printer paper : enter the size of the paper your printer uses (A4, A5, A3 ) under drawing sheet size: enter the size of the actual drawing, mine was about 310 x 450 mm click ok, then print thats how it was for me in IMSA turbo CAD 2D now there is a gap of about 2mm between each page when u tape them together so u will have to cut that 2 mm off my guitar bodey was about 4 pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitey Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 ah,ok i know that bit,it turns out my actual template is to small,so i will need to find out how to size it,hopefully,as there are pickup routings on out...i can just give a size for one side,and the whole templte will change to fit...if that makes sense lol thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azn_guitarist Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Why dont you use an original floyd rose instead of a licenced version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Why dont you use an original floyd rose instead of a licenced version Money I guess. Schaller's are the best licenced units IMO - I think they're easily as good as OFRs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn_guitarist Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 yeh if im not mistake but Schaller were the original company that created the Floyd Rose but Gotoh also make some killer Floyd Roses and so do Ibanez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 No, floyd Rose were the company who made the original floyd Rose. Funny 'dat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azz-230 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Why dont you use an original floyd rose instead of a licenced version alas my bank account will not let me use a original floyd so i have resorted to useing a very cheep eagle floyd rose that gose for about $90 AU however i will be modifying this to have a dead flat radius and will most likely have a graph tech trem nut whith locking tuners as i cant seem to find a flat locking nut?

RGGR Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I would drink less beer for a month and spend the money towards the OFR. You guitar will thank you for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn_guitarist Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 OFR only $350 so you probably should sell about 35 albums for $10 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz tradie Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I think any project is only as good as the parts you use. If it was me, I'd wait a while longer and have me the real deal. ( I'd probably even sell my body if I had to ) Good luck with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
