Website that has guitar plans in CAD and PDF

[wokkaboy]

Hi all,
after checking out DB's baritone scratch build I was interested in getting hold of guitar body and neck plans and a quick search online found a website that has both CAD and pdf drawings to scale of many Gibson/Fender and other guitar models.
I'm sure I've stumbled across it before, so I hope I'm not duplicating another post that has already mentioned this site, but its got the Ricky 4000 Bass as a CAD file DB, see attached a screenshot

the link is https://sites.google.com/site/guitarplanscollection/home

there are heaps more pdf drawings than CAD drawings

hope this helps any scratch builders and save buying the plans from Australian Luthier supplies - all you need is an A1 printer !

I haven't checked any of the dimensions of these plans so just putting a disclaimer out that could be worth checking up on some of the dimensions and check the scale of the necks and the number of frets you will be using.

I have downloaded the Klein and the Rick Neilsen Bettie already.... :o

Groovy.
Typical that this gem is found after I have bought the plans for a 4001 Riccy...

Oh well, there are heaps of others on there I don't have so I will be giving it a workout...

Bassguy have you checked the accuracy of the 2 drawings you downloaded ?

DB on close inspection of the Riccy CAD drawing some of the curves were fairly roughly drawn but overall it looked pretty accurate, would be fine for a scratch template but not the Rickenbacker factory !

What I have seen the scale lengths of the neck appear ok on few I've checked and the body shapes appear close enough for a scratch build.

I haven't given them the fine tooth comb treatment yet- I was more interested in design and general specs.

This is a long term idea anyhow. I'd need to source a headless neck/trem arrangement for the Klein.

Nice find.

That's a really good link, thanks Wokka.

Here's the only other link I know of with a motherload of guitar plans.
