Thanks. Yes, I'm happy to do other stuff apart from templates.. just shoot me an email or PM to discuss.
Wilco!
I have CAD to do first. It's only a notion thus far.

Trisonic templates will be included in the next batch of designs, ETA 7-10 days time
A whole bunch of new pickup templates added this month.. including a selection of brand/model specific humbucker templates. Full list below. Other models available on request, just ask.
I also have 4 string Jazz bass sets available to order, which feature
both neck and bridge routes on a single template, with a choice of '60s
or 70's spacing (3.6'' or 4'' between centres)
These can be made with a different spacing or pickup model (bass or guitar) at no extra charge, just get in touch.

Perhaps a silly question but, what's the difference between the BKP and Standard humbucker templates please?

Humbucker sizes vary slightly slightly between manufactures, so the standard template is a universal, 'one size fits all' route. Where as the BKP and other brand specific versions are intended to fit that particular pickup like a glove, with a nice even gap around the pickup, which looks good if you're direct mounting the pickup for example.
Two new additions this week. The first is a toggle switch routing template, as found on LP style guitar etc. 3 in 1 template: Cavity & recess routes, plus a cover plate template. Cover plate size: 55mm (other sizes available, just ask).
Next is a universal control cavity routing set (Style A) for guitar or bass. Designed to fit many different shapes (see photo for example on T & S style bodies). The set consists of 3 templates.. the main cavity route, the recess, and a template for the cover plate.

Great to see this sort of thing available in the UK now, at sensible prices.
Where were you before I got my own CNC??

Do you have a Fender Jaguar pickup template?
I realise that your primary products are pickup routing shapes, but have you done/are you planning to do other luthiery-related templates? I am thinking specifically about arching templates for, say, a Les Paul or an acoustic archtop?
Cheers,
Adam

Complete guitar template sets aren't in my immediate plans, but they are a possibility in the future. My only issue is that the bed of my laser isn't quite long enough for a full size neck.. so it would either involve me outsourcing the neck templates, or using some sort of dovetail joint to attach the headstock to the fretboard section.
I've replied via PM to Steve regarding the Jaguar pickup templates, but in case anyone else is interested.. Jaguar pickup templates are now available to order.
New templates added... Jaguar, Jazzmaster, Mini Humbucker, Gotoh Battery Box 9/18v. More coming soon.
If you need a pickup template that's not listed, feel free to contact me.

Received my radius gauges today. Helped me answer a question I'd wondered about for a few years. Thanks.
