Electric Guitar Templates?

I don’t know that anyone on here has built one from scratch, but a lot of decorating has been done.

Paisley Guitar

This one took me a while to figure out how i wanted to do it, since I couldn’t engrave the whole thing in one piece (it’s larger than the engravable area) and i didn’t want to try to line it up perfectly and either (a) trash the body if i messed it up and (b) waste an hour + engrave if step 2 wasn’t perfect. So I inset from the edges/hardware/pickguard and even though most of it is one large engrave (with a smaller engrave on the return (the part above the neck)), I was able to rotate the guita…

Looks like there are hundreds of straight on shots that style of guitar, so you should be able to grab one of those, and do a trace of it - then size it based on the specs.
