I don't want to use mounting rings. I think more "sterile" are guitars without those covers. (see picture for example). I need to know how deep hole for electronic on the back must be and holes for pickups also.

When it comes to placing electronic parts should make holes accurately like in the picture or a little bit bigger ? Smaller holes means bigger stability and more esthetic.

Currently we are looking for inspiration. Can you suggest us how we should sculpture/decorate it ?

>>1146855
on the other hand using clone is bad idea because it's nearly impossible to sculpture in it.

>>1146778
Well i thought that using mahogany is ok because thats hard wood, but thanks ! will use that information, maybe using linden or clone might be better

>>1146378
also i've already decided, im going to use:

Merlin P.A.F - neck
Merlin Sabotage - Bridge

I've tried to listen to both, and i think those are good. Any suggestions ?

>>1146378
I thought that using 1 pickup (expensive and really good) in the middle between bridge and neck might be better than 2 positioned normally.

>>1146447
Yea, because of that im going to buy already made neck. Thanks

Since my girlfriend is wood-sculpturer we are going to get great wood for free and all wood work with lowered costs. And pieces like pickups, neck, bridge i can sell if this project become failure (won't !) but thanks yea

It's more commonly to actually use 2 pickups, thats why im wondering

>>1145383 hello, one more quiestion this time about pickups. Is it better to get 2x middle class pickups or combine them and get one but really good ?

>>1145383
ok, thanks a lot

>>1145373

Can i use picture like this ? That might be stupid but how do i know that if i upload photo and strech it a little bit it is going to have exact measurement as expected ?

>>1145332
alright ! Thanks

What's your opinion, does it look awful ? Also its my first try doing anything in AutoCAD
>>1145213

>>1145328
Whay if i've got neck's dimensions and i'm albe to plan locations ? Should i still wait for actually getting neck and then trying to measure everything ?

>>1145274
im going to buy neck - im aware that one error and i can throw away everything.. now im more concerne about shape...

>>1145245
also i've asked few times about templates but nobody wanted to share therefore i wouldn't consider you to do it

>>1145245
if telling truth means to being asshole then sorry. I've created my own because i can't afford / dont want to get template .

>>1145224
give me one then, everysingle one out there you've got to buy

>>1145038

>>1145029
i have huge fingers, no i don't...

Also I've got an other problem. What is the dimension for that (picture), because whole scale length. I know that from the beggining of bridge and end of neck it has to be 25.5'' but how do it set it correctly ?

>>1144545

well im missing few :

1. how deep should be 2 humbucker and bridge (picture above)

>>1144996

2. is there a huge different in sound if i put humbucker closer to each other ?

3. Is it better to get string through the guitar or just get Hard tail ?

What do you think ?
