If you’d like to see an example of how NOT to make a guitar template, feel free to watch this video. If you don’t have the guitar directly in front of you whilst doing a photo tracing, you can’t trust that the template will be accurate.
If you are going to use photos, you need to have the guitar on hand to take reference measurements and correct the distortions. Under any other circumstances, a photo is unreliable for use – lens distortion and perspective distortion can have a significant effect on the guitar’s appearance and dimensions. People who decide to cut and scan a tracing will still benefit from reading through these steps.Ī guitar tracing will always be more accurate on the first pass, but you will still want to take reference measurements and scale/position everything correctly afterward (something else you’ll see done here).
It also takes you through the process of measuring and placing components that can’t be traced. The method outlined below is for people who don’t have a scanner at all. For those of us without a giant scanner, the paper can then be cut into A4 sized pieces, scanned on a standard scanner, then re-assembled in photo-editing software. The traditional way to make a guitar template is to manually trace an outline of the guitar onto a piece of paper.
As usual, there’s more than one way to approach this process.
