Help! I'm Going To Be Making A 5 String Stingray But...

[Keddy]

I have a few questions...
I need to make an outline of the body to draw in the wood, but I do not own a stringray 5, but my friend owns a stringray 4.
Are the 4 and 5 the same body shape, or is the 5 slightly larger? Could I outline the s.r.4 or would the pickguard be to big for the body?

Just buy one, Big Poppa has lost so much weight he needs new clothes!

 

[Keddy]

Well the thing is.
I'm making it for my woodshop class as my semester project, as we're aloud to do anything we want.

 

[Psycho Ward]

OK.

I don't currently have a StingRay but I wish you luck with the class.

The stingray 5 doesn't have the same body... seems to me that they are two distinct instruments.

according to the EBMM website, the SR body measurements are:

13-1/2" wide, 1-5/8" thick

and the SR5 body measurements are:

13-3/8" wide, 1-3/4" thick

so it would seem there is a difference. Since I don't have one of each, can't say for sure.

They are very different, shape-wise

Alright, thanks alot guys!

Go to a GC or local music store and see if you can trace one. Tell them its for a school project and they'll probably let you do it.
