Brad Heller Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey all, Anyone know where I can find resources/info about PRS Custom 24 dimensions? I figured that atleast a search on this forum, if not on Google, would turn up something worth while, but apparently I was mistaken. I'm hoping to "copy" the body style for my project and I have some sketches done (go go Illustrator!). Since they're to scale, if I can even just get a width or length, I would be set!

Brad Heller Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Body length 14.25" Width at widest = 13" Width (min) at waist = 7.75" end to waist =11.5" top horn sticks out 3.75" from neck join Any other dims, let me know, I've just traced round my Cu24 to make a template. These are awesome! Only other question I have: How much taller is the center of the top then the edge of the top? I found http://members.fortunecity.com/jtfish/lpc/shaping.htm for info on how to shape the ttop, it doesn't look too horribly difficult. I was thinking 1/2" difference is about what to expect...

al heeley Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Thickness at base = 34mm (28.5mm mahogany body, 5.5mm maple cap) -by base I mean by the bottom strap button. Max thickness in centre = 46mm, so presumably the max thickness of the maple cap is 46-28.5 = 17.5mm or approx. 0.7". The max profile difference/carve is (46-34)=12mm or as you say, about 1/2".
