that's the route i'm thinking about going if i can't find a tried and tested template.
i have experimented in photoshop with superimposing clear 'graph paper' type gridded layers to scale. eg using a known scale length (distance in inches from nut to bridge) as my benchmark to get the grid an inch to a square.
but there's the problem of how barrelled the photo is. wide angle lenses, even slightly can stretch scale as you go out from the centre. when you are scaling up from a grid small errors get magnified significantly.
so i was just trying to establish some known good breadths widths and depth so i could get it as right as possible. if i can't get them, well hey ho, i may plough on or it may give me second thoughts. but it seemed a next stage thing i could try, to move things along and see.
i think their bodies start at £150, though those prices haven't been updated (nor the site apparently) in quite a while, so there's a question mark over whether they are still even alive as a company. i may give them a buzz tomorrow just to see. sheer curiosity.
re price, there are some decent phantom copies out there that turn up used around £150-£200 (revelation, eko, hutchins, etc) which i would rather go for.
as i'm not a vox collector so not worried about period correct. on a v modest budget too.

doesn't help either that the phantom shape is conspicuously bastard re lack of symmetry or obvious angles or circles within circles etc.
bloody art students (Vox & London Design Centre c1962) and their post-modern clever-cleverness!
