Acousticraft Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I have a student that wants to build an Explorer type guitar. Can someone please give me the the diagonal length across the pointy bits of the body and the waist measurement. I can work out the other dimensions if I have those sizes so I can order the wood for it. Also what is the finished thickness? Thanks.

Xanthus Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 My explorer is based off the ESP style, so I'm pretty sure it's smaller than a Gibson. http://public.fotki.com/xanthus/misc/bodymasurements.html From the lower horn to the upper fin, I've got 28" At the thinnest width, just under 8" At the most wide, 15.5" Thickness is the standard 1 3/4". Hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
