maikman Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 do you have the neck already?, id suggest tracing it and making a template from that or going this route http://buildyourguitar.com/resources/pocket/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I just finished a Tele from scratch and did the pocket as mentioned above. I made my neck then traced it onto a template blank which I cut out and placed on top of the body for routing with a pattern bit. I added a few pieces of tape to the inside of the template where the bearing rides to make the route come out a hair smaller (tight fit). Its easier to sand or scrape than to add wood back on if you went too big. Here's a thread of a Tele build, he used a pre-made neck but the steps are the same. -Vinny http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...p;hl=telecaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
