The plantation mahogany I use is going to be pretty weighty, so I might have to see what else I can source, or else to it’s going to be chambered to heck.
So much to plan out with this style of build. Fun and games!

I wondered if the neck break angle would actually be close to zero because of the bridge type being almost copy of a tele bridge. I've posted on one of the PRS groups asking if someone has a Vela what the body thickness is.

Yeah I wondered that last night, looking at the PRS published web photos.
If it is flat then that’s going to reduce that body thickness a heck of a lot.

Hi Woltz.
I would love a copy of the pdf plans for the BC rich eagle please. I've been wanting to build one for ages.
I'm not sure how to message you, I've only just joined today.
Many thanks...

I ended up drawing the body because I realised on the other plan the layout and shape wasn't quite the same as the XT-2. This should be pretty close. The overall length in the information online is 38.5". My drawing is 38.43". The only way I can get it more accurate is if you can give me the dimensions of the headpiece and the bridge.

I also drew it as a neck through because you mentioned about possibly having a go at a neck through.

It goes without saying that you should print it and make up a MDF template first and layout your hardware on the template to make sure it all works. If the plan needs any alterations let me know and I'll make the required changes.

Is there any chance I could get a copy of the pdf, I would like to have a go at using the body shape for a 6 string guitar, and I think got the body shape spot on.
Regards
Machu.

Woltz hasn't posted on the forum for a few months now. I'm sure he'll be back at some point but it might be a while before he does. So if you want to progress with your project quickly, then I'd send him a private message (and he should get an email notification to alert him). Left click on his name in one of his posts and 'send a private message' is one of the options.

Hey Simon,

Yeh I've been packing up my house and moving across from one side of Australia to the other which has been challenging during the Pandemic. When I get all my tools set-up I'll post new photos when I'm back into it. Hope you and everyone else is keeping safe.

Good luck with the move and I wish you all the best in your new home and location.

Good to "see" you Woltz!
Best of luck with the move. Moving house is challenging even without contending with a deadly virus!

What became of your scratch strat build? Did you find a buyer?

Cheers,
Mick

Good luck with the move Woltz! Sorry I didn't get to hang out at the wood shed in the end - it's been a weird 18 months

I worked this up from some official photographs and some dimensions provided by owners of one of the instruments. I don't think its too far out. I built a guitar from the outline which looks OK to me, but has radically different pickup and scratch plate to the original.

Attachment 42350
The zip contains an svg file and a gif that should be full size at 72dpi.

Good luck with the move. A big move like that is easier now than when I moved during the first lock down at the beginning of the pandemic. Lucky for me I was just moving suburbs. No traffic and the price of fuel had dropped, Hope the new place has a good work space !

Hi there. Can you please send me the PDF file for the Eagle?
