'62 AVRI Jazzmaster Body Shape vs. Original

Post by fuzzking » Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:18 pm

I just compared Fenders Drawing and their official Pic for the 62AVRI to
the dimensions of a 63 body, and it seems like the upper horn is short by
about half an inch on the RI. The rest lines up fairly well.
I upscaled the Drawings and Pictures to a Scale of 1:1, taking fretboard
length as an absolute reference.

Did anyone else notice this or am I finally going nuts?

Never noticed - anyone here have both?

Are you going nuts?  I can't see past my own psychosis....

Okay it was MY fault, I repeat: MY FAULT.
The Body Shape of the drawing for the 62AVRI lines up very well
with the actual body of the '63 as further research has shown.

I'm in the process of re-building the whole '63 as a 1:1 Vector Drawing,
(as I am with the water-slide deacal), and as I was layering all kinds of
elements here and there, a measurement went wrong.

Hey Fuzzmeister, I suspect most of us were just waiting for you to "find" the mistake in your measurements/calculations  ... so that's ok....

all you need to say is ...   
must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque 
relaxing alternative to doing actual work ...

dude, you need a hoby
It's not about the gear! It's about you, your hands, your imagination, your feelings.
