Hi,
Yeah I'm gonna chamber it some more. I already made the cavities bigger than needed on the inside and I'll chamber the lower horn. Not sure wheter or not I should chamber the 'armrest' part since it might be tricky to do (gonna do the cutaway on the back lateron).
Whats the average weigt of a body? Im still not sure if I should try and bind it or just round the edges. Rounding -IMO- would be nice since it aint a thick top so you probably gonna see some of the light wood in the curve. On the other hand, I planned on doing a binding just to see how that works. Im not afraid to screw this one up as long as Ive learned something along the way
@MKGBASS, I just drew the templates in Adobe Illustrator (using the 'info' palette to make sure its accurate!) and exported them in DXF format. The lasercutthingie only had to convert the data once, took like half a second lol. Those parts fit like a dream. I also have the templates for a bold-on and i should be getting the pickup and cavity templates soon. I used MDF templated on this one. As for the 'where' part, a friend of mine did those for me (here in the Netherlands), and I only paid for the steel, not the machine or labour.
Speaking of templates, has anyone the correct measurements of a floydrose template-set. I don't mind ordering it from stewmac but I'm currently ordering my stuff in england and germany, and they dont have the clear templates.
TIA
