I now do the electronics, pickups, jack plate and tremolo routs. The tremolo is only one pass, the wood is only 1/8” thick here… so, Buzzzzz and it’s done…

The other routs are done in 2 stages… first pass takes 3/8th out… and the second, the remaining 3/8th to give me a depth of 3/4 inch.

Here you can see everything is the same depth. I have removed the template, and placed a block in the bridge pickup rout. This is so I can use the inside edge of what has already been routed, to take the electronics cavity on down to 1 1/2” deep.

While doing the electronics cavity, do the jack hole too.. both will be 1 1/2inch deep, I Do this in 2 stages too..

and that’s done…..
