Hello,
I'm looking for a tracing or drawing based off a real Fender Swinger body, with proper routes and all. It appears that there was one over at shortscale.org, but the dropbox link has stopped working... Anyone know of another source?
Thanks!

There's a scaled Swinger body template here ...

Re: Fender Swinger Drawing/Template
Funny this came us as i finally got the opportunity to actually start building this thing....
Finding an original MM/DS bridge is hard, so i swapped it out with a no-name mustang bridge. I'm still waffling on whether I should build the proper pointy headstock or just use the pictured Mustang neck I had built a long time ago.

The purists will probably say you need the cut-down headstock, but i think yours looks much better as pictured.
I really love the Swinger body shape too!

I no longer have that drawing but you can go here, scroll down to the swinger drawing and download the pdf. I then put that on a thumb drive and take it to a printing place and have it done full size on one sheet.
