Thanks guys.
Seems that you got me wrong.
I am not touchy and I am not angry at anyone.
I'm just looking for help & advices. This topic needs to be focused on the making of a Tele plan and I want people to have a look at the plan I made and share their opinions about it.
Please, keep off-topics off. (Metric vs imperial is a great subject to discuss but I'd be thankful if you guys open a new topic and we will talk abaout this there. Same goes for PhotoShop tricks)
You are right, seems that making an EXACT copy of a vintage Telecaster is not possible at all, so long live Warmoth. My plan is made after a pic of one of their bodies anyway.
I will reconsider the idea of buying a neck before having the body done. Still, the thought of buying it and then being unable to make a body for it is making me really nervous. I'll try to practice on scrap wood, hope that this helps develop some routing skills.
Yes, an alternative and much easier way would be to simply scale the whole plan, so that the neck pocket cavity reaches the original dimensions of a Warmoth neck heel. Then I will have a very precise plan and (hopefully) template which will help me build a very close duplicate of their bodies without the risk of buying a neck.
Sounds great, but I still need those original measurements. And that's why I posted this image, requesting info on the dimensions.
If you have a Warmoth Telecaster neck, please measure it's heel and share the results.
Thanks!
