So maybe you have some images, a drawing or sketch, or maybe just an idea for a custom instrument. This Video is an intro to using templates.
Check out the website and send them your ideas to have a great set of templates made for your next build. I will demonstrate the use of these templates by building a Solid guitar body. They where too good to keep a secret so I'm writing the Instructabale to share how I am able to build custom instruments in a rapid process that is satisfying and fun. I now spend more time actually building and far less time preparing and hand shaping templates, a process that took longer than it did to actually build a solid body guitar. When I discovered that i could produce my own templates just like the fancy ones I have seen in catalogs for relative little expense, and that I could design and custom build any instrument I wanted with theses custom templates, I knew it was going to change my entire perspective of building instruments.
The process is demanding and labor intensive and very difficult to do with great precision. Just like most lutiers in the past I hand cut an shaped my templates.

If you are just getting into building musical instruments or a professional luthier you should know that a good template is always the starting point to building a great instrument.
