Maybe we need to get Moldmaker working on the LP top

I'm needing to start the modelling process, but I can't draw a line with a ruler
So I have a pretty steep learnign curve ahead,
Continuing work on the Strat neck model. You know how it is, triing to grap a free moment here and there. These are a few photos of the tenon end of the neck. Now that I have this end drawn I can make sure it fits into the body. Any suggestion as the amount of clearance that should be allowed between the neck and the body? about .050"? In the past I have made them with no clearance and had to sand a bit to much to get 'em to fit.
It is true about ProE and .DXF. I have had a devil of a time getting .DXF into and out of it.
50 thou is a bit too much clearance, I think. More like 10 thou on both sides.
Moldmaker thanks for the dxf fix. I also tried the iges with no problems.
Greg .050" sounds loose to me. Will the attaching bolts/screws keep everything aligned, or do you need a little room to move on a bolt on? I am just now in the process of building my first instrument. It will have a glued neck joint and I'm wishing I had went bolt on with this first one!

No greater love can a man have than this, that he give his life for a friend.
.01 is plenty... All of my bolt ons are slip fit into the pocket. You for sure don't want loose coupling of the wood, the pocket should hold the neck in alignment. the tension of the screws is not enough to prevent the neck from shifting in the pocket.

greg, that last fret over-hang on the neck end shouldn't be there.
Ed,
Looking at the pictures in post 26 and the plans is where I see the last fret over hang. Maybe I don't see what you mean. Do you have a picture of what you mean?
Greg
IT's not a problem, Greg, I can alter my set of code.
Be careful... This is my first post, even tho it's a reply so here goes:::
If the book you are referring to is the one by Andre Duchoissoir, then be advised that the dimensions in that book are INTENTIONALLY INCORRECT. And "why is that", you ask? Well, it's because that company beggining with the letter "F" would not allow Duchoissoir to publish such inside info on the world's most popular guitar because it's design privacy infringement, or some such dogma designed to resist easy mass knockoffs of same, and seeing as there already ARE zillions of knockoffs, you know the rest............So my advice is to take about 5 separate Strats, take an average measure, and go with that...every other dimension on the body is logic dependent any way, like the neck pocket not being the same for every neck, as they are different widths (usually 2 3/16ths to 2 1/4), or the placement of pickup cavities to be in in centerline with the bridge, etc. So mebbe that's some help. Unless you are talking about some other book entirely, in which case NEVER MIND....
