So, I'm reading Melvyn Hiscock's book and I gotta say that I love it so far. I'm getting an idea of what guitar I'm gonna want to make (Fender Tele), and I'm unsure of whether it's worth it to buy the templates or the plans. If I bought the plans I would know the measurements of where to place the controls and pick-ups and can buy separate templates for each thing, and it would be cheaper. But if I bought the templates, it would be a lot easier than doing the previously mentioned but much more costly.
Which path should I take?
