i'm trying to find plans for some offset designs that have't been mentioned yet in this thread (brands but not models) & that i can't find anywhere esle on the webs.
it's a random wild request but if anyone has a template for these, or suggestions or links where i might find them, i would much appreciate it.
they all fit within the genral 60s offset sort of thing that goes on here.

danelectro hornet. body shape & dimensions. (the recent dead on 67 is an update but not sure how faithful spec is to original body shape. looks close).

silvertone 1478 aka silhouette. body shape & dimensions.

silvertone 1477 aka harmony bobkat. bodyshape & dimensions.

pickups & control variations not a huge issue, just a decent temple for the body outline & some basic dimensions to give that size.

none of these really got to the UK. i've never seen an original anyway. our mass-produced cheapo catalogue equivalents were kays (rebranded teiscos).

i've tried messing around in photoshop using neck scales as a guide but am never sure when working from random google photos how much image distortion might be going on due to barrelling wide-angle etc.

thanks if anyone can point me in the right direction.

ok, add a freakin' supro lexington to my 'dream template & dimensions list'.

so many killer vintage offsets, so little data.

Here is my version of a Harmony H17 Bobcat plan, I think it should be pretty close to the original size.

I'm looking to build a lefty bobkat, but the template seems to have disappeared. Does anyone have a downloaded copy?

Yeah a Bobkat template would be cool!

Not sure where it went, so I drew a new one with my CAD software since the Kat seems to be pretty popular these days (the fact St Vincent is the koolest guitar hero of the noughties helps!)

I made you a lefty version to save you the fiddling with your printer settings.

Those .pdfs are meant to be printed onto A2, and they are in millimeters (sorry, I'm all metric ). I can make separate pdfs for the pickguard if you guys want. Also, bear in mind that the original had a very narrow neck (only about 2.02" at the end of the neck pocket), so this area might need some attention when you're doing your build. I can alter the template to accommodate a standard Fender-type neck if needed.


By the way, you OSGers, don't hesitate to give me a shout if you're after specific templates. They dont' take me a lot of time to make and I actually enjoy the process, it's always interesting to take a design apart and draw inferences as to how it was designed in the first place.

Thanks for remembering us lefties

I just may take you up on this. I can think of a couple that are kinda fun that I wouldn't mind building
