YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 http://home.rgv.rr.com/kingv1474/Custom.dxf I'd like to ask someone how, well..frankly, knows what their doing (cuz i sure don't). To go over some measurements. And make sure its all good. I have each part seperated also (one for body, one for neck, one for headstock), if needed. My plans: Ibanez RG body Basswood preferred, but it depends on what I win on ebay , Poplar/Alder are options 25.5" scale 24frets, Ibanez Wizard style neck Maple neck, maybe a stripe of some wood to add sturdyness, rosewood board(maybe ebony) Hum-Hum (Dimarzios, mid position coil split) Toggle/Vol/Tone Original Floyd Rose 3+3 inline Jackson style headstock (anyone know how in the world to do that to make sure the strings are in line? I *REALLY* like that look). Color: Depends on what I end up. I might just paint it a 'goth black'. Or more than likely, get flamed maple veneer and apply it to the body and headstock, and then dye it black. Opinions? Corrections? How long do you think it would take to build something like this?

Brian Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 You can draw out the string direction on the paddle headstock before you shape and ddrill to get that done. Just use a pencil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 I used the "Steal Alex's template that he disgned for someone, attempt to modify it to what i want, then Alex felt pity and extremely nice and edited his to what i wanted, and posted it for me" method the head stock, i used the spline and line. the neck the lines.

YDoesGodMockMeSo Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Go for it. Its not 100% accurate. I took it from Jackson . http://www.fender.com/new_repository/jacks..._Soloist_xl.jpg I scaled it up as best as I could, and traced it in ACAD. If you want the ACAD file for just the headstock, lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 well i'm not much of a cad guy so no help there but the design looks pretty good, everything seems to be there. I would recomend going with poplar over basswood.. it's much harder and won't dent as easily, it also seals a bit easier when you first start your painting. however it's a bit harder to cut and route... so.. just something to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
