could someone put the scale lengths for various guitars

example ibanez, fender prs, gibson, esp, jackson

cheers

yes I know but I was wondering if anyone here made replica guitars

and post up their builds

from start to finish of making a complete specific guitar

I was thinking that they would be pinned or have their own section

I t would be of great benefit to have

how to make an ibanez jem

how to make a gibson lp

how to make a fender strat

how to make an ESP MII

I am gonna test my skills first on cheap materials

anyone recommend some cheap materials that could be useable for a guitar

mainly the body and neck

how come there are no tutorials for apply binding to the guitar body, neck and head?

Is there a tutorial which explains the scale length for a 24 fret neck?

I was thinking looking at my ibanez the 24 fret neck doesnt go in that much and allows enough room for playing, why would the gibson style differ

I think making the body scaled slightly will help compensate for a longer neck

could someone explain in depth?

Change of plans

I am gonna make the guitar a bolt on so it would be easier for me to build because if I screw up I dont have so much work on my hands

I am gonna buy the book

Melvyn Hiscock's book 'Make Your Own Electric Guitar'

and according to wood work experience, I done woodwork for a year and I made a pencil holder and a wooden sword, I have used a router, belt sander and some other equipment I dont know the name of

btw I dont have any of the machinery

Update on my guitar

********************

here are my specs

construction: bolt on

body style: gibson lp (black)

body wood: mahogony

binding: white(front & back)

neck wood: flamed maple

frets: 24

fret wire: dunlop

fingerboard material: ebony

neck and head binding: white

head: gibson lp

bridge: tune a matic

nut: graphite

pickups: emg 81 & 85 (battery cavity on back)

tuners:gotoh

Switches: 3-way switch

knobs: two (1 volume & 1 tone)

extras: a preamp booster and a kill switch and an angled jack that goes into body like an Ibanez JEM

*****************************

Any alterations to be made to the body to make the 24 fret neck fit?

How would I make the slightly grooved shape on front of body, like on most gibsons

would I have to create another piece of wodd to go on top?

How hard is doing binding on body neck and head?

What is the procedure like on painting and finish?

sorry for all the questions but I cant wait to get started

thanks

I dont know anything on how to build a guitar

here are my specs

construction: neck thru

body style: gibson lp but to a slightly larger scale (black)

body wood: mahogony

binding: white(front & back)

neck wood: preferable maple

frets: 24

fret wire: dunlop

fingerboard material: ebony

neck and head binding: white

head: cross between a gibson lp and ibanez shape

bridge: tune a matic

nut: graphite

pickups: emg 81 & 85 (battery cavity on back)

tuners:gotoh

Switches: 3-way switch

knobs: two (1 volume & 1 tone)

extras: a preamp booster

maybe some effects switches and a kill switch but not sure if I can do it thats all

note I am thinking of making the body slightly bigger to be proportionate to the 24 fret neck

also i want the slope that you see on most gibsons on the body, the body height is high towards the pick ups and as you move to the edge it gets more shallow and looks like a nice groove

any recommendations?

suggestions are welcome
