I have paired up your Tele templates to an AllParts body, a Warmoth finished Tele body and my Fender Am Std Tele -Anyone else notice this?
Yes, I am sure that we have all noticed this as well when the early - pre CNC days Fender bodies were hand made they were all slightly different. I am also sure that we have all see that all the custom bodies very from Manufacture to Manufacture.

What I am really sure of is that Ron's templates are the best overall tele body shape and size that I have come across for me. ( I don't know the man , I just use his product) I don't care where he got the original design from as that is not important to me. I have even gone so far as when I have ordered bodies from some place else - ( either because the price was right or I was just to busy to cut my own), I have reshaped their outside profile using Ron's template "where ever the meat was hanging out"

If I every come across a Tele body that really wows me more than the ones that I have cut using Ron's templates I will use that one to make a set of templates from.
