aturner Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I read somewhere that teles have a lower bout width of roughly 12 5/8 inches. When I drew it out full size and arranged my parts on the template it looked too small. Is there someone out there who could quickly confirm or disprove this for me?

KeithHowell Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Have a look at http://www.guitarbuild.com and download the Telecaster Plan. You can get all the measurements of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aturner Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I know there is a tele headstock plan, but I'm pretty sure there isn't one for the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 12 5/8" is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 If it doesn't look right to you, just change it to suit your taste. It's your guitar, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aturner Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Very true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherryburst Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 12 5/8" is also the width on a Strat too (or at least on the one I've got) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
