Guitarfrenzy Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Maybe you could get in contact with Ronny at Guitar Building Templates. com and see if he can make you a special template. If not, then you might want to try to build another type guitar since he has quite a bit to choose from. Quote
GuitarMaestro Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 Or download an image of the guitar from the inet and bring it to the correct scale.... Quote
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 how would one do that? Quote
Slaughthammer Posted April 3, 2004 Report Posted April 3, 2004 scale length dividet through the distance between bridge and nut on the pic should give you a scale, and then you can enlarge it any way you want Quote

I just ordered a PRS template from him so when it comes i can tell ya the quality and everything if your interested in ordering from him. Quote

I just ordered a PRS template from him so when it comes i can tell ya the quality and everything if your interested in ordering from him. I've already ordered the same templates from him about 2 weeks ago if your talking about the 24 fet one and the quality is excellent. Very nice laser cut and all. That's why I have no reservations on recommending those templates. Hope yours was as good as mine was. But still let us know how yours are. Quote
BLS Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Yup i just ordered the 24 fret one also. But i have a question, have you tried the inlay template? I dont know how that one would work because are there any bits that small with ball bearings?? Quote
darren wilson Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 I would guess the best way to use the inlay template would be to just lay the template on the fretboard and scribe it out by hand, then remove the template and go back and manually cut away with small chisels or go at it with a very fine Dremel bit.

Steve Luke Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 Here's what I did to make a good-ish Jazzmaster template. 1, find a pic of it on the net (must be a good photo, flat and straight on, not at an angle) and print it off - try Warmoth, they've got some pretty good images in teh bodies section fo their on-line catalogue. 2, decide scale length you want (you could maybe half it for convenience). 3, Blow up the photo on a photocopier using A3 until the scale length of the photo matches your real-life scale length. 4, Copy the body area (will probably take a few sheets of A3 which you'll need to stick together 5, You should then have a full size body shape which you can trace onto your template material and shape Quote
