Ashbory digital model
« on: December 13, 2006, 10:51:31 AM »

still a bit rough around the edges, but something I've been messing around with today while waiting for files to upload...


if someone could help me out with dimensions that would be really cool- specifically: body thickness, head thickness, neck thickness. A nice oblique pic of the bridge would be cool too. Other than that, Brock's photos are doing a great job so far...

That looks really nice, way nicer than the one used in the User's Guide.

I'll see if I can get around to getting some measurements this weekend.

If someone could help me out with dimensions that would be really cool- specifically: body thickness, head thickness, neck thickness.

My bass and tape measure are nearby and I have lots of free time.  I hope you don't need metric...

Total length: 30 1/2" ?

Body: 1 1/4" thick excluding plastic battery cover plate (maybe 1/8" thick?). Widest point is about 5 1/2".

Headstock: 7/16" thick, widest point 3 5/16"

Neck: 1" at nut (includes heel but not nut 'height' - I think it's called a 'volute'?), starts at 13/16" behind the 1st fret marker, thickening to 7/8" around the 19th fret marker.

Fretboard width including white trim runs from 1 11/6" just behind the nut, to 2 1/16" where it ends (12th fret is 1 15/16" , 24th fret is just under 2 1/16").

Fretboard markers are 6/32" diameter thru the 12th fret, the ones on higher frets are 5/32". Side dots are tiny, maybe 1/16".

Nut: 9/32" height over the fretboard, 2 11/16" wide, 3/32" thick

Tuning pegs: 3/4" diameter (widest part) , 11/32" (narrowest - where the string winds onto).  The shafts are around 2 1/4" - 2 5/16" apart on center, they are about 5/8" high and stand off the headstock about 1/8"

Bridge is 2 7/16" across, 1 3/8" long on the edges and 1 3/4" from the "peak" between the middle 2 strings to the back. It's roughly a 5 sided "house" shape with the "peak" pointing toward the nut?  The body routing for the bridge is 1 3/4" long and 1 3/8" wide. There is a gap behind the bridge to allow room for the string knots.

Control knobs: centers are 1 1/8" apart but not in a line with each other (they follow the curve of the body about 1 3/8" away on centers), knob skirts are 3/4" diameter, about 9/16" high, with eight sided knob grip thingys. All knobs are marked 1 thru 9 with even numbers getting a vertical line instead of the digit.

String diameters (under tension) for E/A/D/G are 6/32", 5/32", 4/32", 3/32". Slack are 9/32", 8/32", 7/32" and 5/32".

LED is 1 5/8" from the highest knob (bass), and directly 'across' from it if holding the bass vertically. It sits in between where the edge of the fretboard and the G string would go, if continued down through the body. Diameter including surrounding gasket is 3/8" with the actual LED in the center about 3/16" or so.

That's great that you took all those measurements. I'll have to add them to the resources this weekend.

thanks c10, that gives me plenty to work with- hopefully in the next couple of days I can return the favour with a fairly detailed 3d model for download. Luckily the software I use allows me to switch between metric and imperial seamlessly (just by typing in the units when I draw something)
