thanks for the welcome & help simo!
ok, so i'm making a start on the actual body template today, after making my mind up about what i want to do, i have a few questions on that if its ok?
basically, i dont want to do anything TOO hard, but i want to do a warlock body (maybe it is too hard, but y'know, challenges)
to keep the whole project simple, all's i want's is one humbucker and one volume control, and a stop tail bridge (or w/e theyre called)
so my first question is about the wood, i know i can buy blanks etc, but im on a really tight budget, so for the sake of scavenging, is there any "around the house" wood's that i can build a body out of? im really not looking for this to come out perfect, im just wanting to see weather i can do it. or any cheap woods or anything you guys can recommend?
second is that the bc rich warlock has contours (i think, from photos?) is this just a case of cutting the body out thick (ie. one big chunk of wood) and sanding down contours to comfort?
probally the most troubling question i have is another thing on the placements, should i work of a "center line"? by this i mean, on my chosen peice of wood, do i draw a center line on it then work from that? so for example say the pickup is 6" do i put it in the center so it has 3" either side of the middle line? same with the bridge etc?
hope that made sense, thx for all the help
