'59s Les Paul Carving template set 8-piece

With this durable set from recycled plexiglass you have an accurate template for the carve of a ‘59s Les Paul guitar. With the choice of wood, materials and finishing, you determine if it is going to be a so-called standard or special.

The templates are made from sturdy 5mm transparent plexiglass which gives an optimum view on your work and is far more wear resistant than MDF.

This set fits together like a matroesjka doll and requires positioning only once, which is done with help of the marked center lines and body contour. This design also allows you to route your pick-up cavity before your carve – when the top is still flat!

After completion of one carve, you simply cut the double-sided sticky tape and release the outer carve template with help of a Japanese putty knife. After that you can continue with the next carve.

After the works in done, this set is easy to store.

Optional: Carve-check template set 5-piece
These templates have the shape of the carve on one side which can be used to check the height and flow of your carve. They can be placed on the positions that are marked on the body template front side.

Details

Use:

Make sure your workpiece is placed steady, flat, at a good height with a comfortable working position and good view on your work area.
Be focused.
With routing, always wear protective clothing such as eye and ear protection and a dust mask. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove waste material and prevent that from heaping up.
Set the RPM to the advised rate that comes with your machine or router bit.
Keep the ball bearings of your template bits clean before and after use to make sure the bearing doesn’t get stuck during routing.
Never route too much material at once to prevent your router from breaking away and to avoid unnecessary ware on your router bit. Guide is maximum half of your router bits height and half of its diameter.
To create sufficient depth while keeping the guidance bearing of your template bit against the template, work with different lengths of bits, changing them when more depth is required.
secure templates with good double-sided sticky tape. If you secure the template with clamps, protect the wood of the body and make sure that your router can move freely.
Always use our templates so that the text is readable (or for left handed so that none is readable).
