metallicaforlife Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) I am in the process of building a les paul shaped mandolin and am using an old p bass pickup as the pickup for it. I have looked all around on the internet and i cannot find how to route a cavity for this pickup without one of the stew mac templates. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? P.S. this is my second build (first was a strat copy) Edited October 4, 2011 by metallicaforlife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripthorn Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 You can get an outline and make your own template. I would never route a P-bass pickup cavity without one, as they are somewhat complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallicaforlife Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 wouldnt i just be able to cut the side circles of it with a 1/2 inch forstner bit, and then set up a jig for the router base to run along? I don't know how to get the 1/8 inch quarters though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
