I suppose this is as good a place as any to make my first post. I would appreciate templates for flat-top, bolt on guitars that incorporated the neck pocket, pickup, and bridge routs as one piece, without necessarily incorporating the body outline. You could make the bridge screw locations small holes for anchoring the template (in case you don't like/use/trust DST). Then when the routing is done, you've got pilot holes. This way, everything will line up with everything else. It would involve some kind of option/customization in the order process, i.e 'Floyd Rose recess, H-X-S, strat pocket' or 'Gotoh Tele, H-X-X, Tele pocket.' I realize that this may appear to some as lazy, but for people who are time-challenged, I think it would be useful.
