    ok so ive cut out my body and sanded it.(its an esp explorer, from the bolt on explorer CAD from guitarbuild.com) anyway im ready to start doing the next stage. routing the pickups cavities, neck pocket, the control cavity and drill the holes for the TOM and tailpeice. ok i was wondering if anyone knew of any where i could get templates. the thing i am concerned about is the neck pocket. im not really sure on the angle or the depth that i have to route. any help is GREATLY appreciated.

    I used the ESP bolt-on explorer plans from www.guitarbuild.com(explorer13_pub.dwg). Im using 'Melleluka' wood, not sure what its like though my uncle whos a carpenter bought it for me because it had similar properties to Mahogany. I cut out the body and sanded it today at his workshop. its awesome, cant wait to finish!!! anyway i have a few questions: 1) does any one have that CAD file?can it be used for humbucker templates? If yes how deep should i go.I'll probably be using Seymour Duncans. 2)the cad has the neck pocket but again how deep do i go and on what angle? 3) the cad has the tunomatic and tailpeice on it. can i just drill at the end of them? If so what size drill bit should i use? Thanks
