Drawing Guitar Plans

[FrankenWashie]

FW, I looked everywhere on the net and couldn't find a Vela S2 thickness dimension, but someone posted on the PRS forum that their S2 Starla was 42.25mm but it was difficult to see where the bevel came in to play.
Someone else posted that "S2 Singlecut Standard comes in right at 2 inches at the thickest part." which equates to 50.8mm

That ties up with the blueprint I have for the PRS 24, 2” at the area under the bridge. I suspect the neck break angle is similar to a 24 as well, 3 degrees or thereabouts.
It all adds up to some thick cap material or body blank, and a ton of carving.
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.
