"Minor" request: Could a person who owns a Custom/Maverick do a tracing?

Post by weijie » Mon Dec 11, 2006 6:15 pm

Hi, I know its sort of a big thing to ask, but I was wondering if any of the owners of a Maverick/Custom would be willing to do it?

The main bits I'm primarily interested in (as the others, I believe can be gotten using the pickguard, control plate, etc) are the body shape, the holes for the mustang bridge and tailpiece in relation to the body, and head stock shape (from the nut up, including where the holes for the tuners are). It wouldn't have to be a "proper" template per se, just a correct size tracing on a (or a few) pieces of paper, I can then use those to make a template. I'd definitely be willing to pay for it (using Paypal I guess, as I'm not too comfortable with mailing money through the mail, even though Singapore mail should be safe). Thanks so much!

I'm planning on dismantling mine in the near future.  I plan on taking a bunch of pics and making tracings.  Will let you know when I have something.
