YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 http://home.rgv.rr.com/kingv1474/Draft.dwg Alright now it works for me. I say, if you dig it, go for it. Just gotta make it more accurate, and I these are theo nly ideas i have to help ya. I think you should take the RG shape and try to work with it, because it looks like an RG(the front half) and LesPaul(the butt). just w/ different length/style horns. the headstock, kinda reminds me of a Les paul. Maybe you could find template with that, and tweak it? I think there might be one at www.guitarbuild.com the fretboard, i dunno if you have it accurate or not. If you don't, you can have the fretboard i made, its pretty accurate for 25.5" scale w/ 24frets (w/ the 25th being the left over) Or I could make you one (or teach you) how to make one (the method I used).

krazyderek Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 lol woooow that's a funky cool shape, it'll look a bit better once you get the correct size rout's in there, and place the knobs a little bit... reminds me off Alex's Silver guitar... maybe ask him for the cad file for that guitar if he made one...

johnuk Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 You guys should check out Rhino CAD. http://www.rhino3d.com/ It's a cheaper version of the solid body enviroment CAD programs machining places use for writing their machine's programs. I don't know if it's just me but it seems very easy to use in comparison to the other CAD programs. The demo has a limited number of features but they're only limited compared to the trillion different ways of making a sloping edge the people need who are using it to generate really complex 3D models. The demo is FREE so you may as well give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 if it'll open every file format, and not give me stupid erros like turbocad 2d i'm down with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
