Tim37 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 well i was bored so i started drawing and this is what i ended up with kind of a bastard between a strat and a tele i am wanting to build it but funds are low and will be for the next few months i do have the EMG's i caught a kerry king set on sale and walked out of the store with them for under a buck fifty so that part is the only thing set in stone http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/Tim...tratocaster.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/Tim...tratocaster.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/Tim...tratocaster.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Nice design. Now you just have more time to refine it, I guess. Right? Edited November 20, 2008 by dpm99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcrash Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 This is nice. Let me know when you ready for some tele parts - not really advertising, but I have plenty of left overs... cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer7440 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 NIce work! What did you design that with? (Software I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddW Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Cool computer work. But I don't like the pick guard. The bottom edge doesn't follow the control plate or the bridge. I think if you could tweak that I'd like it a lot more. Best, Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim37 Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks for all the complents guys This is nice. Let me know when you ready for some tele parts - not really advertising, but I have plenty of left overs... cheap. Thanks i will keep you in mind i was planning on a gotoh bridge because it has the narrowest string spread but im open to ideas do you happen to know the maximum string spread for a emg 81 thats what i have for the bridge. iwas also looking at gf for the plate since im gonna have to put the pa 2 in it NIce work! What did you design that with? (Software I mean) thanks i drew it on Bentley Microstation XM any drafters out there please cut me some slack i usualy draw in 2d Cool computer work. But I don't like the pick guard. The bottom edge doesn't follow the control plate or the bridge. I think if you could tweak that I'd like it a lot more. Best, Todd yeah im not too happy with that design but like Dpm99 said i got time to tweek on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcrash Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 The only info EMG offers is that the magnetic spread of the 81 (and others) is equal across the entire surface width of the pickup. In the case of the 81, this is 2.75" - so it would be safe to say you can cover 2.5 no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae3 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Cool telecaster/stratocaster hybrid. You could mix the names together and get telecaster.... hang on. No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trad3mark Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 just a little tip with your cad work, if i may? I'd avoid microstation like the plague. It's very messy when you come to importing/exporting, particularly with 3d. I'd suggest sketchup pro, and use it with AutoCAD and 3dStudio Max. It's much easier to work with, and you can import/export between all 3 with ease. Also, there's a lot of photorealistic renderers out there for sketchup. I use those 3 religiously in Architecture, and for designing guitar concepts. I'd be happy to post examples, but it's just a tip, it is easier than microstation.
