right I getting there

what my chum wants if to give someone a guitar body and have it measured and put into AutoCAD/dxf pdf, does this make sense? it's so he can go to a specialist wood yard maybe abroad and get the bodies made,

can anybody help?, or wants to do it?

I've sold the guitar to a mate of mine who fell in love with it

so I've ordered a Warmoth body and neck and will get Angela at
http://guitarangel.co.uk/services.php to replicate the heritage cherry although I might go for a burst with lighter cherry in the centre either way it'll look good

sadly the pocket is quite tight and the neck is in line with the bridge so not a lot of room to manoeuvre, this particular tremolo does have particularly wide string spacing, it plays ok so I'll leave it for now,

what sharp eyes you have,
yes it is a bit close, the bridge is a wide string spacing one, I've got a narrow spacing bridge that I might fit, seems to play all right though

all the vintage tremolos suffer this problem, it's almost like necks were wider in the 50s

Hate them :evil:
the 6 quid was more or less ok what got me was the 8 quid that was stolen from me, it's not as if they did anything for it

customs on low value items

I didn't know this but customs have lowered the value of items bought outside the EU to £15 after that they now attract VAT plus the usual charge from Royal Mail

you don't have to buy much with the shipping to go above this figure

I had to pay £14 on a £30 purchase before this the limit was £50

Hi David welcome to the mad house
it's a slippery slope, you'll find yourself sucked into the sound of valves, the meets are a great place to hear all sorts of set ups and sounds

I hope you enjoy being here

CNC PROGRAMMES

a friend of mine needs to convert a drawing of a guitar body so it can be used by a CNC cutter, are there any free programmes to do this or does anyone know someone who could do it for payment,
