Hi Does anybody have an AutoCAD DWG of a Jackson Randy Rhoads guitar I just want a design i can work off Dan

I thought it might have been a case of just use a chisel. Cheers

Hi guys When i rout out the neck pocket on my guitar bodies im left with the 12.7mm radius on each of the inner corners. Anybody here that uses routers will know that you can never cut a perfect right angle if ou are routing out a cavity. Now ive seen on some pictures on this board...

For some really i read Beveling beam when clearly you wrote leveling beam, mmm i may need glasses i recon. Basically its just a large perfectly straight sanding block, i think i need to get me one of them.

What exactly is a beveling beam. Now ive asked this its probably something really obvious

Allright Guys ive got some new pictures of my project The next photo is of a contraption I built to sand a fingerboard of a zero radius to 5mm depth Roll on next Saturday for some more guitar building action

Cheers for the reply guys, its been very helpful. To clarify, non of the string saddles should be moved away from the nut passed the point of the 25.5inch scale, instead the only saddles that are required to be moved are to be moved closer to the nut. In short am i right in thinking that...
