The problem i have is trying to work out how big it is... i can use the schools laser printer... but i have no idea on size...

Sheven,
I had the same problem trying to find dimensions of the Jazzmaster, not much free information on the internet.
If you are serious about a Mustang scratch build you may have to shell out for a scaled/dimensioned plan from Australian Luthier Supplies are $29.50

So this has all the size i need? to build the body?

[wokkaboy]

sure has Sheven, on the link I posted there is a small image you can expand (but too small to read)
it is a full 1:1 scale A1 size drawing fully dimensioned.
I've seen some of these plans at DB's and being a draftsperson for about 25 years they are good plans

When you print out the file Wokka is referring to, you will notice a 10mm reference square on the document.

If your printed copy has a square that is 10mm x 10mm, it is correct.

If its smaller, you need to enlarge it proportionally. If it's larger you need to reduce it.

Here's a thought, and it's just a thought. Maybe you could save the pdf file to a thumb drive, take it to Office Works and get them to print it onto an A2 sheet.

Brilliant idea Muzza.

Do it, most of the plan services will have a " to scale when printed on A* size paper" key, I did exactly what Muzak says with some Benedetto plans and other acoustic build plans. For black and white they will do it while you eat and it's not a great deal of money.

...Muzak...

Ha ha. "Muzak". That's a new one. I like it.

My second new nickname in less than a month. The other is "Muzzavarius"!

Whoops! Fat Finger Syndrome, sorry Muzza!

Hey all no need for big printers and big paper. This website, in Deustche, is where I get my plans from: http://www.gitarrebassbau.de/viewtop...10&t=6&start=0

What you'll need is a program called Inkscape https://inkscape.org/en/. Import the pdf into Inkscape and just print off as an A4 paper. Make sure to print overlapping pages and then combine them together. I usually do it on my window because the light coming in allows me to check if the lines are in line.

This guy explains it really well: https://damacleod.wordpress.com/2011...mplate-part-1/

Hope this helps.
