im building an explorer. i have downloaded the 'explorer13_pub.dwg' CAD file from www.guitarbuild.com

i had someone dimension it for me, and i have printed it to real size. now i just need to know if my dimensions are correct.

ok bassicly: The length from point to point= 613.808mm

The height= 450.9012mm

if these are correct i can assume the others are correct.

Thanks in advance

hmm yeh thanks. i have printed it out onto A4 and wil take it to Snap Printing(a big printer company here in australia), and get them to make it A0 size.

it says that the scale is 1:1 and the paper size is A0 size. does this mean i cant print it out on A4 then blow it up to A0 then it will be real size?

wow you are mighty sik with a bandsaw.

hmm looking good dude.

Does anyone know it. My uncle who is a carpenter bought it for me and its good solid wood with a nice look to it.

So yeah.. im building a explorer type guitar and does anyone know if its good.

Thanks

hmmm would certainly look sik....dunno if it would work tho. mabye try some on a bit of scrap wood or something.

hmmm no replys. damnit

ok ive got the cad and im only bulding the body and im going to buy the neck. is this cad accurate. like if i print it out and get it to A0 size then will it be real size?

and can i use this cad for the humbucker templates and things like that?

thanks in advance

You can put all the dimensions on in CAD. Right click on the function buttons somewhere, select "Dimension" and then.....put dimensions on it.

Alternatively, if you can't do it, reply to this with your e-mail address, tell me what dimensions you want and I'll download the drawing and dimension it up for ya. What else am I going to do, work?

hey thanks

download the explorer13_pub.dwg file which is the basic gibbo explorer and can u dimension it to normal size please.
