    Where to source plans to make Bass Guitar templates?

    I have been thinking about making a Bass Guitar from raw materials or close to raw....e.g. things LIKE this.....

    http://www.guitarmakersemporium.com....ck-maplemaple/

    http://www.guitarmakersemporium.com....e-joined-qm45/

    http://www.guitarmakersemporium.com....-guitar-woods/

    Or even just drop into a local sawmill and see what I can find.

    I was just wondering where do I source either plans that are printable to full size, or templates to make these things.

    I see plans for strats/teles etc...not many for bass.

    Any ideas?????

    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
