Default Jet lovers, I need a hand please.

Are there any jet lovers out there who would be willing to lay your baby on a piece of paper and trace around the body for me? Single cutaway please. Yeah, I'm planning something else again. This is next in line after I finish the Country Gent, the Ric 325, The Ric 4001 and the Country Club inspired builds.
Thanks in advance!

Just to let you know, if you need a Gretsch 6120jr, a modern Covette and a Ric 360 or a 650D I have both

Jukebox, I'd be very interested in tracings of the Ric's. I was just talking to a friend of mine yesterday about building a 360 inspired guitar.

Wooooohoooooo! he's building a jet he's building a jet!

If no-one closer comes through I'll lay one of mine down on a piece of newspaper, trace it with a marker & try to get it scanned in for you, or throw it in the post or something.... I'm not sure how accurate it'd come out scanned on a craptastic a4 scanner... and I'm a little busy over the next couple of weeks so if I happen to forget sling me an email or PM to remind me

Just an idea, but maybe it's worth heading down to your local CG & tracing one yourself? at least then you have a chance to check out any other slight measurements you might need in person..

GM: have you gotten what you need yet? I can help you out. I have a 2001 and a 2004 Duo Jet, so let me know if you want a current production model or pre-Fender. Can't help you if you want vintage.

While I never lived in PA, my family is from the Wyoming Valley and North Eastern PA has always ben "up home". PM me your address if you need it. and God Bless Joe Paterno

Thanks guys (and Gals). Yeah, my local guitar center doesn't dabble in Gretsch too much. They have a few 5120's, a Setzer model and the prom queen. Not much body shape variety there.

No-name, I'm sending you a pm. Thanks.

I thought someone closer would have come through by now! Shoot me a PM with your snail mail address, and I'll trace my 2008 G6128TCG for you.

How about a picture, with the ruler on top of the body?
