metallicaforlife Posted October 4, 2011 Report 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
Ripthorn Posted October 4, 2011 Report 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
metallicaforlife Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report 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
