CAD Drawings of Fender Faceplates
« on: March 16, 2016, 10:51:58 am »
Guys,

Does anyone have a CAD drawing with measurements for a PR face and back plate?  I am working on ordering some of my own plates from US Nameplates (  http://www.usnameplate.com/  )and they will need drawings. 

I don't have CAD or know how to use it...

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Mike

Cant say I can help but they have made progress with image to CAD conversion software...
That might be something to look into if you'll be doing other stuff in the future.
 
Here's an example:

Mike,
What chassis are you using?  I've attached two PDF files.  One of the Mojo Supply chassis dimensions and one of the faceplates for my version of that amp.  If you verify dimensions and then tell me what you want on the faceplate I can whip up a file for you.  By the way, most engraving shops use Corel Draw and prefer the file in that format which I can create for you. Or I can send it in CAD format too.
Guides on your quest for tone.
 Oh yeah, and I'm usually just kidding so don't take me too seriously.

Very cool, thanks you.

I am usually ordering from Doug which is the same chassis as Mojo.  Big gigantic help...

I haven't heard anything from you on this.  Still need some help?
