Hollow body tracing?
« on: August 29, 2012, 10:51:29 AM »
Does anyone know where I can find key dimensions and a body tracing or plan (happy to pay for it). . . well....not happy but willing   :o

I would like to try building a Rivoli/BS or Starfire shaped bass.
Thanks,
Rob Francis

You can find a Gibson 335 plan here (in pdf). Identical body shape to an EB-2/Rivoli. You'd need to work out the pickup and bridge placement.
