RJV1 - Flying V Guitar

Modeled from scratch in Onshape, this design was spiritually inspired by @MikolasZuza's Prusacaster. It's sized to utilize a Gotoh hardtail bridge and standard humbuckers. For extra stiffness, the body has a recess for one 1/2" aluminum rod. The scale length is 25.5". The pocket is sized to fit a Jackson Dinky bolt-on neck, though any neck using a Fender pocket shape will work. Body centers are available for dual humbucker, single humbucker, and P90 pickup configurations.

Post-Printing

Bill of Materials

You'll need the following to make this beast:

• 1 - 25.5in scale neck with a Fender-pattern heel
• 1 - Gotoh hardtail bridge
• 1 - 1/2" aluminum rod
• 2 - standard sized humbuckers of your choice
• 1 - 3 way toggle switch
• 1 - Volume pot
• 1 - Input jack
• 4 - pickup mounting screws & springs
• 8 - M3 x 6 screws
• 6 - M3 x 4 screws (for the electronics cover plate)
• 1 - Standard spacing neck plate & screws

Assembly

The first step is to print all of the pieces. You'll print one of everything, with the exception of the pickup rings (two there). All of the pieces were printed with standard settings, save the center body piece. I used 7 wall loops and a 25% infill for additional stiffness for the center.

It's pretty self explanatory how to assemble, I used some standard clamps and medium Starbond CA glue. Cut your aluminum rod to 240mm to fit the rod pocket. I used 2 part Gorilla Glue epoxy to cement it in, though CA glue will probably work just fine. Place the cap on it after the rod is inserted.

Attach the pickup rings with M3 X 8 screws.
