Hi guys, I allready asked this question in another topic, but i guess maybe this is the right place for my question.. So i got this cheap stagg guitar from a friend. I have 2 ibanez pickups which i want to install in this stagg, but somewhere along the line i don't see how i could solder these to the stagg config. See pics below for more explanation... I guess my problem is that the stagg pu only has 2 wires, and my ibanez pu has 3, an extra black one(ground wire i think) What do i do with the extra ground wire, can i just leave it unsoldered? Best regards, Boeba.

Hi guys, it's been a while since i posted something. So i got this cheap stagg guitar from a friend.

Best regards, Boeba. btw, the explorer V guitar is still planned, but first i want some experience on some other guitars.

Hi Salamon, Sorry to reply so late.... . I didn't had the chance to work on the template since our workspace at home was full with car parts from my brother. Previous weeks this place has been cleaned so now it's time for me to go on with this project. First of all, it started as a neck through, but i decided to go with a set neck for now.(it's my first build) And for now ....i still have to finish it but it's getting there. Next thing on my schedule is the search for wood, but i already found i good woodshop.

thanks, I have been sick for a couple of days, so i haven't got the time to work on my template. I hope i have some time this weekend.

Today i made the template. It still has to be finished but it's a start. http://i50.tinypic.com/30tqx35.jpg I didn't cut the headstock because i think there's not enough place for the tuning pegs.
-
Currently i'm busy transfering the plan to a piece of plywood. I was only wondering if the design of my headstock is safe, especially the placement of the Tuning pegs. Aren't they to close to each other?(there's a pic of the plan on previous page)
-
Nothing special, just a pic of the plan cutout. Next i will transfer this to a piece of wood(template) http://i45.tinypic.com/2ibntco.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2ibntco.jpg

Thanks Unrealize, I took another look at the headstock because i felt it wasn't exactly what i wanted. So i did some adjustments, and i like it alot more than before. Next is an image cut up to the size of 7x A4- pages. I also added some allignment markers to stitch the pages together once they are printed. http://i49.tinypic.com/172sdv.jpg

Damn, i mean 10 mm = 1cm= 0.4 inches Thanks for noticing, you never know it really was 100 mm, that would be a big mistake and a big guitar.

Back with another update. http://i48.tinypic.com/1zzkeb5.jpg I was wondering if it's a problem that the gap between the bridge and the end of the body is only 100mm. Could it be that this is dangerous if i start routing because the gap is so small? Boeba

thanks guys, appreciate it that you give such quick reply/response. This is going to be really helpfull during the build. Boeba.

Hi guys, Thanks for the support. So i made a new image, again concerning the floyd-rose. http://i50.tinypic.com/wgri3o.jpg I just need to know wich point is the correct contact point.....1 or 2? I looked at my own Jackson and i'm having doubts between point 1 or 2. (i hope you don't mind i'm asking a lot of questions, i just want to be exactly sure.) Thanks in advance, Boeba

This is the problem. I know that you measure the scale length bij looking where the string meets the contact point/saddle of the tremelo. But i'm not quite sure where this point is at this picture below. So i made some different versions so you guys could tell me where the correct position of the bridge needs to be. I made 4 versions......A-B-C-D, but please say if it has to be a position that isn't on the picture. Thanks in advance. http://i48.tinypic.com/97itz9.jpg

So here's the design. This is just a photoshop-design. This is not with the correct dimensions or position of the pickup/tremelo.( I just wanted to see what it would look like.) Next image is the first draft of my template/plan. After all the reading and stuff i think i understand what the scale length is, and i decided to go with a 24.75. (in Belgium it comes down to 629 mm.) The next image will be a close-up of the floyd-rose bridge, i'm having difficulties locating the right position of the string-contact point . I hope the image will explain.

Hi guys, allow me to introduce myself. 25 y old, i'm from Belgium, Bruges. As a day job i make 3D for print and animation. (I don't know if it's allowed to paste this link but here it goes) http://umbracg.com/ This is the work of me and 2 friends, we started a business 2 years ago. I have been playing a long time with the idea to build my own guitar. After reading alot of tutorials and books about the subject i decided to jump right in. First thing to do was to make my building plan and design of the guitar. (Pics will follow as soon as possible.) So i'm looking forward to your help. Greetings, Boeba
