Snoekel Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hi there, I'm new on this forum but a reader for a while now. Looking for a "winter project" I've decided to build a guitar that I want to have for a long time, the Ibanez JEM 777. I found the blueprint of the body on the internet and started to build this from yellow poplar. Maybe not the best choice of wood for this guitar but it is easy to work with and it is cheap. Since this is my first guitar I don't want to spend to much money on wood. Now that I am in the sanding procedure of the body I want to start with the neck. But to my surprise I can't find any drawings of the JEM neck! So my question: can one of you help me out on this so I can proceed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammo1 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ok first off you really don't need a blueprint of the neck as this normally will have pre-determined measurements and a scale length that you can get anywhere ie nut width scale length,no of frets etc,etc. What you will struggle to get is an accurate headstock design of an Ibanez origin, now if this is your 1st build sketch one out as near as possible to a diagram you have and then go from there and its not that hard with the advent of Photoshop, Corel draw etc. Now if you want it bang on to an original you will have to beg someone on this forum who has one and will share the design or image at the correct size, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Dave Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Donate and get access to all the drawings in the supporters section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoekel Posted September 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ok, just payed my donation.......good to support a forum like this anyway. Once I have the donation status, where do I find the supporters section? Is this part only visible when you have the support status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Dave Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 it's at the bottom of the main page. Advanced support section downloads and file sharing. It's about time I donated again. will do so tonight me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoekel Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) So far I see only: Tutorial Section, Reference Section, Supply Section, Gallery Section and When All Else Fails. I suppose that the Advanced support section becomes visible once my donation is verified. Oh, bytheway, sorry if there are some grammatical or spelling errors in my text, I'm from the Netherlands ;-) Edited October 1, 2010 by Snoekel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
