Tenor guitar dimensions.

[bobbytouche]

Trying to find some dimensions to build a 23" scale solid body TG. Mostly neck and bridge dimensions. Are their plans out there that anyones aware of?

Thanks in advance.

Ahhhh yes. That is Fantastic! Thank you. I think I'll utilize this tropical storm as an excuse to start drawing up some plans.

Thanks so much!

Alright, got it pretty well drawn up. Not too happy with one thing. I wound up with 3mm overhang at the nut and 5,5mm at the 21st (my last fret.)

I dont suppose that's too bad huh?

Of course I could shave down the heel width by 2mm or so and that pretty well fixes it.

If you don't see a reply check out the builder's forum where you are most likely to be in touch with just the right people.

It's funny...I always reads posts using the 'New Posts' button, so I have no idea what sub-forum they are in.
I need to be better about looking at that.
