That's really nice. I'm not really diggin' the knob placement though..

That is stunning. Great job!

Yeah I decided to buy a brand new router anyways. Bosch 2 1/2 HP Plunge should be fine for me.

I was just wondering if it is worth the $40?

NO not a $40, plus the $30 SHIPPING $70 OUCH

It's only a $12 shipping to me. But no anyways?

Would it be what I need or not? Feel free to grab it if you'd like but I was just wondering if it is worth the $40? Another thing is that if it ever breaks I wouldn't have trouble finding parts for it as there are more Sears' than their are stop lights around here. Thanks!

If you are done forever with the old rg320 body but want the new body you can make a template from the rg320 using lexan and 2 sided tape.

Get a nice flush cut bit and tape the lexan to the top of the rg body. trim the excess with a saw (bandsaw, jigsaw, ...) then use your router to copy the body in lexan.

I love to drive screws into the old donor body... I know tmi.

That's really cool I think I'm going to do that. But why would I need to be done with the RG forever by making a template? Or am I just reading things wrong?

That's awesome. Love it.

Mark a center line down the center of your body template, and align it with the center line of your body blank (convenient on your blank since there's a glue line).

Also mark a center line on all your other templates (pickup templates, trem cavity template) and align them with the center line on your body.

And careful with that padauk... padauk splinters are memorable.

Alright thanks. I've drawn up the pickups and tomorrow when I have more time I will draw out the neck pocket. And about the splinters, I know, I've already had a palm full just from handling it.

So I guess it isn't a full blown build but it's a body. Got a piece of Padauk and want to replace the crappy, chipped body of my RG320. I think I will soon replace the neck with my own but for now I'm just going to use what I have.

I need tips on how to get the body perfectly center, and how to get the trem route and pickup cavities perfectly center. Thanks!
