I'm not sure what you mean by a template trimmer, but here is a nice set of template bits to start out with.

The 'template trimmer' as described in the book build your own electric guitar looks like what you have described

Its the 'bit' used to route out control cavities and pickup routes etc using your template as a guide

thanks in advance

Hi guys

As i said on a previous post i am currently getting myself tooled up for my first build

I am looking at purchasing a router which is quite straight forward, however i am stuck regarding what router bits to buy

My first job will be to create my templates using a template trimmer? (from the build your own guitar book) but i cannot find where to purchase one

Can anyone recommend a kit ? of where i might be able to purchase what my family refer to a side and face cutter?

thanks in advance

Dan

Hi Bainzy

Thanks for the advice

I have been watching your thread on the LPF with anticipation of an update hows it going

By the way where did your thread go for the overly tight truss rod after gluing the fillet? did you ever get it corrected

Thanks

Dan
