Here we go. Still need to deepen the cavity route and route the cover recess.

Hey Dave I am watching your build and enjoying it very much. I was building an electric also however, I have been in the pause mode because I have not aquired templetes for routing pickups and the floyd rose, neck and stuff.
I see you are very good at your builds and they look great. My spalted maple looks a lot like yours does, do you have templetes you could share with me? Here is a picture of my build that is in pause mode right now.

Dave I would take all specs that you could offer as I intend on building strat style and gibson style as I see fit.
This is going to be a Fender scale, and another question how much neck angle do you build into your bodies for strat?

Dave I will pm you my email address if you could send me what ever ya got mate that would be fantastic!

Files sent!

If you are building the guitar to fender specs (Neck, pocket, bridge) No angle is required as the fretboard is higher than the body.
