The first steps
If you are just in front of a blank sheet of drawing paper, get up, not really know where the first lines and contours shall touch on the future of your homemade guitar, then you're here on time emergency landing.
Even if you already can use a vector drawing program, the position of the zero point and the center line, as given in the templates, even in the screen grid very helpful. And then the input of the coordinates is certainly the easiest exercise.
If something looks completely symmetrical, one almost always finds a deviation when looking near. At a modern e- guitars and basses sure a crowd. It is nevertheless a sensitive longish symmetry axis (center line) to draw in this top view as the most important line always first
In the second step, the scale length are taking their position on the midline, and in a way that they are not "broke ranks"! Then you can always edit every detail positions and contours in a frame of reference or comparison.
Guitar navigator pattern
The drawing in the 1:1 scale matches on a drawing sheet 1 meter x 0.5 meters.
The Guitar Navigator template used your guitar drawing in a symmetry-grid. The defined ZERO allows any change in coordinate numbers, just assign
Bass navigator pattern
The drawing in the 1:1 scale matches on a drawing sheet 1.2 meter x 0.5 meters.
The Guitar Navigator template used your guitar drawing in a symmetry-grid. The defined ZERO allows any change in coordinate numbers, just assign
Peghead pattern
The drawing in 1:1 scale fits on a DIN A 4 character sheet. You can also use graph paper. The defined ZERO allows any change in coordinate numbers, just assign.
