Jazzmaster router template set. This set includes everything you need to produce a Jazzmaster guitar body, neck and pickguard. Templates are 1/2" thick MDF produced via CNC machine. These templates were produced by 3D modeling an actual guitar and not from plans found on the internet. We pride ourselves on craftsmanship and attention to detail. All of the routing done on the top of the guitar body is purposely laid out on one template. This way you know that you are getting the neck pocket perfectly in line with the pickups and bridge mounting holes. We don't sell templates that we have not modeled and built ourselves.
