Hi Dave,

Thanks for the quick reply. I made up the truss rod from the info in the strat neck blueprint. I also used that to make the side templates for routing the curved recess. I'm having difficulty getting the templates orientated to the blank so that the proper curve and depth will be cut.

This has been a reality check for me. I can carve a wooden propeller but can't seem to build a jig.

I might have to try the straight slot style truss rods. I can always use the truss rod I built in the next one.

Thanks Again,

Bill
