I'm with you.
I hadn't thoought about the body template. But it just occured to me - I stripped the guitar twice and the previous owner took it down at least once. Wonder how much wood is missing?
If I'm going to do all of this work I want it to turn out right.
I'm not concerned about making the templates. I just spent about 5 or 6 hours over the last week or so making templates of the neck on the 66. I used them to start cutting a rosewood neck I'm building.
