  • I'm really happy to try out these new router templates from Musiclily! They seem like great quality, and so far have worked really well for me. Perhaps the best part is that they come in at about HALF the PRICE of the Stew Mac alternative templates. If you want more info about these musiclily templates, check out the links below. I've also included some Stew Mac versions for you to compare prices and features:

    Hey Dan: I have little experience with a router -- but yesterday I needed to make some mods to permit an HSS Strat pickguard to work in a SSS Strat body. Sadly I made many of the mistakes you mentions -- so I thought: "Haven't I seen Dan perform free-hand routing very successfully so maybe I should see if he has any videos on that subject?" and the latest video I found was this one. Great job -- as always. I find you so inspirational. Keep up the great work!

    Stew Mac prices on Amazon usually include their $10 shipping. Pro Tip: on acrylic templates tape the inside the router bearing is against so it doesn't heat up and melt it

    Awesome video - I need to get myself on a basic wood working course so I can learn how to use a router safely

    One thing to enhance your copies is to transfer center lines from acrylic templates to the MDF while attached. Great video - thanks!

    I have used Musiclily stuffs for quite some time now. Their Wilkinson stuffs have a whole lot of options. And they have great after sales support if you have problems or defects with your orders.

    At Lowes or Home Depot they have double sided carpet tape that will hold these perfectly. Nice and flat and strong hold.

    I would really love to see a set neck guitar build! That would be so cool

  • @TootEmCarMan

    With painters tape and superglue you only need to put it on either side of the template, not all the way around. I built my first ever guitar at Crimson Guitars in August 2020 and routed 2 humbucker cavities, neck pocket and control cavity as described previously and nothing moved at all. :)

    Great video as always! Bit off topic, with all the gnarly custom builds you do, would you ever consider making a clone of any signature models, I’ve really wanted to build my own Peter Steele style bass but would love to see your approach!

  • @MrDaveKC
    @MrDaveKC 2 года назад +3

    Very nice templates. I'm still scheming making my own bass build, and those templates may just have to be the basis of it

    I seem to remember on the stewmac videos, they just use double sided tape and don't mess with the tape/superglue combo.

    You know, if you have the pickups, you can make templates out of 1/2in mdf for about 50 cents each. Just trace around the pickup and cut the hole including the line. I like to screw mine to the body. Just put the screws where the neck pocket will be,and where the bridge will be. Do them both at the same time.

    I have the Jazz Bass templates and they are slightly (very slightly) on the tight side. I added a J pickup to a P-Bass I've had forever. Pickup squeezed in, but barely. It works perfectly, but I hope I never have to try and remove it.
