Anyone have any idea where I can get hold of a dimensioned drawing for a dual neck Stringmaster?

Keep yer tools sharp! That way you can use more of your strength guiding them AWAY from your body rather than forcing the cut!!!

Alan,
I do not have a drawing, but I did get these measurements from the honorable Mr. John Tipka a while back. There's a chance he might also have a drawing, and this would probably come in handy, anyway.

Re: Dual 8 Stringmaster
Don beat me to it with the numbers, but here's a straight-on photo that might be an aid (along with the dimensions) for making a drawing:

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Excellent, that will probably answer all my needs along with the previous post. Thank you...michaelm wrote:Don beat me to it with the numbers, but here's a straight-on photo that might be an aid (along with the dimensions) for making a drawing...

Re: Dual 8 Stringmaster
Hi Allan,
As I am intending to have my own (26" scalelength) Double 8 Stringmaster built by Fern, a company here in The Netherlands, I was wondering if you ever succeeded in building one your own. I am desperately searching for good drawings which, in combination with some pics to find on the internet, might help us to get a clear insight in the features of such an instrument. Hope that you or some of the other guys here on the forum might be able to help me out.
Thanks a lot,
Harry Sibum,
