7001 templates

Posted by Brian Reagor on July 11, 2011 at 4:33pm
Here are some easy templates I made recently, top one will be like a cartoonish dinosaur head body, 2nd one is a small coffin, 3rd one is Pacman, 4th one is an oblong shape that I came up with by tracing an classical acoustic body backwards and removing alot of it/top & bottom curved spots will have extreme bevels with maybe 1/2" bullnose edges, 5th one is my idea of a very compact electric travel size guitar.All of these for template purposes are using my "OLP" guitar necks measurements for the purpose of making a full size version of each but can be resized for just about any size and type of guitar, banjo/canjo/uke..whatever/CBG/bass and each can be made either solid or a hollow box, though the curved ones may prove more challenging, the necks on my templates are not only there for reference but make them easy to hang on the wall, next step is to transfer pattern to either wood or acrylic sheet plastic.

    Hi, thanks for the input, I figured I would inlay the ghost in the fretboard each being a different color like the game ghost, but I need to learn how to inlay...I also thought of using pearl inlays because of the visual effect but don't know if i can get pearl in each of the colors.
