I want to build something different!

Well, since my Pine Esquire turned out so nice, I want to build another guitar.

I used my CV Tele as a template for my first build, but now I want to venture into new territory.

So is there anyone out there that has a some type of scale online template for perhaps an offset style body that I can gain access to without having to shell out a bunch of $.

I make diddley for money at my job (I work for a non-profit company), that's why I am building guitars instead of buying them. I have $147.00 invested into my Esquire, I think that's pretty cheap considering the guitar plays awesome, and when my Fender '52 RI yielding friend says "It's got alot of Mojo" I feel like I really achieved something special.

I would like to do an offset, utilizing telecaster components to keep things simple. I just had another slab of pine planed and cut into chunks at my friends shop, so I'm ready to begin as soon as I can find something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look around the forum, I have seen plenty of people freely sharing pdf files of varies guitar designs.. You just have to look through the pages to find them.
