Printable guitar template PDF?

Is the Lp Jr. with the p90 pickup routes? I am trying to find a gibson plan with p90 routes that I can marry with a wilkinson half tele bridge. Thanks for the help.

 

A JR would have a single pickup, & 2 controls. This is for a Special with P-90 routes. They are similar other than the number of pickups and the control cavity.

Here's a commonly used JR plan -

 

Is there a metric pdf for a 69 thinline ?

 

Just had a customer ask for a Gibson g 3/ ripper/ grabber bass custom build. Anyone have a pdf? I do have the pg template. I know its a long shot but this is the best resource for templates. Thanks in advance.

 

Hi, can I stick in a request for a firebird template please if anyone has one. I can't offer much in return...maybe a template for a cat or a big bald head or something but I'd be eternally grateful anyway.
Thanks veeeeeeeeery much.

 

You can find the Firebird pdf file (amongst many others) at this link: http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38813&sid=e5b860842843a2326c6844c87bc0cbbe

 

Here's a blueprint I made for the Fender Lead. Can't guarantee it's accuracy as I only had a few pictures to base it off of, so it may not be an exact clone, but should get you a pretty close copy.

Here's the neck at various nut widths, also, have you checked out Herb's (Adirondack5) snakehead build thread?

 

I love the Lead series. The unsung member of the Fender line up. I have an '81 Lead II and I would love to build a few. Thanks for the plans. I'd be happy to check measurements against mine since you didn't have one on hand to verify when you made the plans.

Great contribution to this thread!

 

Thanks man! Let me know if there are any discrepancies and I will make changes accordingly. The only thing that most likely isn't right is the humbucker route for the pickguards on the Lead I and Lead III. I just used a standard humbucker dimensions. The original 'buckers on the Leads are pretty different.

 

Thanks so much for these! I've been searching for Fender Lead series templates for years. I borrowed a friend's original Lead 1 back in the early eighties in junior high. I really liked it and his parents wouldn't let him sell it. Now I can make my own.

 

I just did a quick check on overall dimensions. Your file shows to be 16.6" x 12.13" in Illustrator. My Lead II measures 16.75" x 12.25". But it's tough to know for certain with the large round over it has. I'd say the plan as drawn is pretty darn close. A few 1/100ths one way or the other isn't going to matter overall.

Not that it matters for anything but the bridges on the Leads used lock nuts instead of springs on the saddle adjustments.

Thanks again. I was planning 3 Strat builds but now I may build a Lead I instead. I have a Pearly Gates that needs a home.

 

Cool. If it's good enough for Guitarnut, it's good enough for me. Looking forward to following your Lead build!

(The bridge I just copied and pasted from some '72 Tele Thinline plans.)

 

Thank you VERY much - this is SUPER Helpful!!

 

Awesome thread!

I'm looking for plans for the Squier Vista Venus and it's Venus XII counterpart. I've tried to buy these over the past few years and have now figured that it would be easier to build the things myself! Any help gratefully received.

 

How to print it?

Can somebody tell me how can I print the PDF's with the real scale of the bodies? In other words, print it in more than 2 sheets of paper.

Thanks

 

If you have Adobe Reader X, the "Poster" printing feature makes this almost trivial. You can even set the amount of overlap you want.

In the Print dialog, just click the "Poster" button. Make sure "Scale" is set to 100%.

 

I use Windows & when I open the PRINT window, on the left, half way down, I set the "page scaling" to NONE from the dropdown. On the right it shows how many pages it will take to print. This should be 1-1 from the PDF. Check against known measurements, such as neck screw distances, to verify correct printing size. You should be able to print just that page to verify.

 

Here are a few software tutorials I did for template making and printing. You might find some useful info. There's also a good deal of info on how to put multiple sheets together and get things lined up after you print.

Hello all. I've checked all I can and I'm fairly confident this isn't on here. I'm looking at doing a project based on a Vox Mark VI (Teardrop). I was wondering if anyone had a template for that?
