Hi.
I'm sure it's been done but I wanted to see what the average shape was between the LP, PRSsc & Tele72. Knob and switch placement is averaged, too. Took 3 measurements every 2 degrees, divided by 3 and made a node there. First approach was done at the bridge, but the cutaway area couldn't handle it. So I moved the center point to the "waist" of the guitars. And gave the cutaway horn its own measurement approach. Also the Tele body sat about 0.5" higher than the other two.

The end result is very polite and boring. :)
I won't be doing anything with it but if anybody wants the file or anything let me know.

Interesting, I did not know the overall sizes are so similar.
It makes you wonder who copied who.
