Novo build

I’m not sure what happened to the file I used, but it seems to be missing.

Hopefully this can help. If you resize this image then you can use the ruler measurements to ensure that you have it the correct size.

I used Apple pages to resize it. You may be able to find other software or methods.

If you export the resized image to a PDF, then acrobat reader has a setting to print it as tiles that you can cut and paste together.

Funny you ask.

I was trying to find it a few weeks ago to plan another build. Im going to take another look and if I can find the file, I will post it here.

Currently, that guitar is in pieces. I’m refinishing it and cutting a new pickguard. The laquer should be fully cured and I’m going to reassemble the first week of October.

What I could do is take a photo with a ruler in the picture to make scaling the photo to original size much easier than the process I followed.

Hey, sorry to be a PITB but did you ever find that file

So, I was never happy with the purple, especially how the pre-cat laquer cracked.

I refinished it with faded sonic blue, cut a new pickguard from cognac smoke tortoise shell, and stole some knobs from a fuzz build.

The neck was also a bit too chunky for my tastes, so I took the opportunity to shave down the neck.

It was stained with vinegar and steel wool, then sealed with oil. Feels much better now.
