Thanks , I did about the same thing for the print to be placed on the template using the excellent tdowns pdf. Used the snapshot tool in acrobat to copy it to the clipboard and then import into paintbrush, played around with size until it was about the same size as the mini strat body I have. I also noticed that the lower bouts of the strat and tele are very close but the horn seems to be off quite a bit. I thought it was strange the mini necks heel was standard size. I have yet to add this to my drawing. Couple more questions:
Are you going to transfer the 1/4 to a 3/4 template when you cut the body?
I imagine the bridge will determine the location of the bridge pickup rout, but for the neck pickup are you just gonna
- wing it?
- use the dimension from the neck pickup on one of your mini strats?
- use a ratio based on the location and scale length of a full size tele?

would love to see pics of the mini neck.

thanks again for the detailed info.
