Now wait a sec... The deepest router bit on the link above is 1-1/8", considering guitar bodies average 1-3/4", how do you manage to cut the full depth? Would you flip the template around to the other side of the rough-cut body blank, and continue to route from there? Eh?

Ooooohhhh.... I get it. Wow, thanks guys, that helps a whole lot. Lemme tack on 2 little questions on to this real quick: 1: What would you use to cut the template out? 2: I've seen at Sears they have the bit "heads" and shafts sold seperatly, so that you can just buy one shaft, and switch out the heads, saving roughly $5-10 over the price of buying a traditional bit. This sounds like a good way to save a few bucks, but will those "switchout" types work for our purposes? Thanks again! _Ford

I've yet to figure out this whole router trmplate thing, I've heard it mentioned a million times, yet nobody seems to explain how exactly it works. Thanks!

Ok, I checked out the rest of that site (thanks for the link), and yeah, 4001 is rosewood, you're right. What I want to know is why those rosewood boards look so much lighter with more red and yellow tones then the rosewood on just about any other insturment (that I've seen anyhow)? Perhaps a different kind or rosewood, or some kind of finishing? _Ford

"This dual pickup version of the model 4000, the legendary 4001S, is the forerunner of the model 4001 we know today." 4001S is a different insturment from the 4001, though I do believe the neck is still mostly maple, there is a darker strip down the center (a 3 piece). The frettboard could be rosewood after all, but I've heard Bubinga, as well as Pao Ferro. Lots of conflicting info! Fun fun fun! _Ford

I was curious to see if anybody knew the woods Rickenbacker used in their basses, more specifically, the 4001 series. I have one, I love the way the neck plays and feels, and I want to try and incorporate that into a guitar project. I'm fairly sure the fretboard was Bubinga, its a 3 piece, and a neck through. But thats the extent of what I know. Thanks! _Ford
