Devin Columbus Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Does anyone know where I might be able to get a template for the classic Ibanez Jet King 2? Ibanez JTK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 well its not far off a fender jaguar and its very similar to a ibanez talman so you might have better look searching for those and modifying them to suit you needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyonsdream Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Find out the width of the neck at the last fret. Print the picture to size by using that measurement. Example: that last fret is 2.5 " long. Print the picture so that fret is 2.5" long. That will print the rest of the guitar to scale. I usually put it in photoshop and make a big square around the guitar and use those for calibration points for when I tape the paper together. Once it's lined up, cut the guitar out, transfer it to board and then make your template. If done correctly you can use the template for an exact replica. I don't worry about the neck becuase I use a standard neck pocet and I already have neck templates for all the scales I make. So I make each template like it's a bolt on eventhough I might be making a neck through. I also make one for set neck too (if needed) I had to do this with an ESP viper a month or so ago and I took some pictures of it. On paper http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j287/ZDG...er/100_3481.jpg Transferred to board and cut out http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j287/ZDG...er/100_3486.jpg As you'll see, I scribed a centerline so I can line everything up when I route the rough body. Keeps the neck in line with the body and makes sure everything looks straight when it's done. Edited January 29, 2008 by zyonsdream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezifon Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 do a center line, scale using the humbucker has size reference, get it vertical and print at 50% then go to some site with map photocopiers and do it 200% other system is to split it in 4 a4s and just tape them to do the template Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyonsdream Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You are right, I forgot to map the cener line on the Jet King sample. YOu can see how it was done on the viper. You can go to Staples and have it printed to scale or just print them to scale on your own and tape them together. I hate spending money so I just do it all myself!
