Yes thanks.  How do I get them actual size?  I want to use the body shape for a junkmaster project using leftover parts and a danelectrto fabrication technique for the body.

You need to open them up in Illustrator and scale them up until the distance from nut to the centre of the 12th fret is 1/2 the scale length. Can't remember the exact %, it's not a round number.

Thanks. 

Now for the next step, I'd like to build the body danelectro/reverend style out of salvaged/recycled wood.  I have a no-name neck and an assortment of parts.  However all my stuff is Rensselaer  NY and I'm in St. Kitts till mid Aug.  So I'm tryin' to think the project thu.  Has anyome tried tis before?  Anyance would  thoughts or succestions would/could aid in the design process.
thanks

Intersting. What kind of salvaged wood are you going to use?
I'm thinking of doing a simelar project quiet like that. Although not any time soon.
But I'm thinking of a "Pine-master" (something simelar to the very early esquire, but Jazzmaster)
So far I collected some +50 years old Pine beams, that used to hold a roof. The wood is very dry and looks quiet usable.
But I wondering what else you could use for such a project...

I have a big chunk of 2"+ maple butcher block counter top, and a bunch of accumulated stuff in the shop back up in NY st.  I'm in St. Kitts watching my 14mo. old grandson. 
I also have a neck with tuners pickups, pots bridge neck plate etc.  My inspiration for the project is this.

I was hoping to do all the planning while I'm here so I can build when I get home About Aug. 15.  I was thinking if the prototype worked out then I'd do something prettier.
