Alright. Whatever.

Yeah, I checked in to that because I think I've already have picked up more than $10 worth of information off of this message board. But then I saw where several people wrote things like "hey I paid my money a week ago and I still can't get in". Plus, I did'nt really see what I was looking for. I might try that other resource you listed. It's just... building this guitar... man, things are really adding up (and I havent even cut in to the wood yet).

Well, perhaps I did not dig deap enough in the "Search" feature. But I did look, and alot of people have posted topic like: "hey, I need a template for an xyz guitar" and then somebody will link something that you have to pay $10 to $15 dollars for. And everytime I type something in Google, I just get a bunch of places that want to sell you masonite cut outs. Sorry. I'll keep trying.

No... I wish. Google "Pinecaster"

BUT - - - Mmm"Kay, what router bit are you going to use to route out the truss rod?

Why are internet folks so uptight about putting schematics, scales, and templates of common guitars up on the internet. Maybe I could see where somebody actually made a real-live template, you'd pay them for that. But there are not many pdf's of anything I'd personally be willing to buy. It's not like it's a big secret. It's not like the people who are selling them actually OWN the designs. It's something you can find out anyway, but it would be easier to reference (like I find other info on the internet) on the web. I guess this thread will rub somebody the wrong way... But I'm also guessing whomever it rubs the wrong way probably makes a couple buck of this.

WOW!!! I bet he loves this. Really cool. Better that the one I built for my kid. She's obsessed with the Josie & the Pussycats movie:

I took an old KALAMAZOO Bass apart and when I took the neck off, all of these pieces of green plastic feel out of the neck pocket. I thought that was funny. I guess anything that works... works. Rule Number 5 in Combat: "If it's stupid but it works, it's not stupid."

This is Pine as well:

THAT IT AWESOME! Pine? Really?

The Professor has rigged up a generator running off of coconut milk.
