Melvyn Hiscock Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 If in doubt draw it out. get a piece of paper, plan it out. It is much quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Should you be unsure how to draw it out, there is a good pinned topic here. Also, it is explained very thoroughly in the excellent Make Your Own Electric Guitar', which Melvyn authored, and is far too modest to recommend himself.
