Trem

Want to add a Trem to your dream guitar design? GREAT!

I've just added the drawings to the Design Your Own Guitar course.

Take a look and let me know if you have any Q's ? ...

 

Measure twice, cut once...

This is great Mark, thanks. 

It isn’t essential but when routing out the top route, instead of routing the whole cavity, how could I do the “bear claw” route? How would I go about doing this?

Here is a picture of an Ibanez JEM of mine, even though it has an Edge Trem instead of a Floyd (the route will be a little different), you can see the “bear claw” route.

I would do that by routing first and then finishing by hand with a chisel (*edit: Gouge) - without serious machine like CNC I'm not sure how else it could be achieved.

Maybe someone else can chime in?

Yes I thought these would get knocked out on a CNC machine and I couldn’t think of a way to do it with a router. It’s not the end of the world, I would probably just route the whole cavity, certainly for my first attempt anyway.

Hi Mark, are the drawings also in Udemy?

Measure once, cut straight away and maybe you're lucky......

Sorry - I'm afraid not - To get the new stuff you'll have to be a premium member...

FYI There is going to be A LOT of new stuff - it will be well worth it.
