Thanks for the advice guys,
I should have said this in the begining but yes i am trying to cut out the body shape and, I do already have a template, I orderd it off of Ron's site. It sounds like a router and jigsaw is the way that i want to go but i want to ask, which router and which jigsaw do you reccomend (does it have to be a Plunge router)? I want to know because the jigsaw that i looked at in the rental store would have had a pretty tough time cutting through the body blank.
Also Mickguard you said something about a template bearing bit from stewmac, is this it?

Thanks again.
Edit: Since ive already spent alot, do i need a router and jigsaw or could I make with just getting the router (not sure how that would work but....)?
