Classic Telecaster Complete

$79.00

Build a timeless icon. This Classic Telecaster Complete routing template set provides everything you need to craft a vintage-spec Telecaster body and neck from raw lumber. Designed for luthiers, workshop builders, and DIY enthusiasts, this set takes the guesswork out of layout, pocket routing, and centerline alignment.

Laser-cut from high-density 1/4" MDF, the smooth edges allow your top-bearing router bit to glide effortlessly, delivering clean, chatter-free cuts from rough outline to final pass.

Key Features:

  • Laser-Cut Precision: Clean, exact edge-guide surfaces for reliable pattern routing without bumps or flat spots.

  • Vintage-Correct Specs: Accurate vintage body contours, traditional SS pickup routing, classic control cavity layout, and 5/8" neck pocket depth specifications.

  • Durable 1/4" MDF: Flat, stable material designed to withstand repeated use with flush-trim pattern bits.

  • Laser-Etched Alignment Markings: Clear centerlines and bridge, jack, and neck mounting reference points keep your hardware aligned perfectly.

What's Included:

  • Body Outline & Cavity Template: Body perimeter, neck pocket, neck & bridge pickup routing, control cavity, and bridge screw/string-through pilot markers.

  • Neck & Headstock Template: Profile, heel shaping guide, headstock outline, and 6-in-line tuner locator points.

Specifications:

  • Material: 1/4" Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF)

  • Scale Length: Standard 25.5" Tele scale

  • Neck Pocket Width: Standard 2-3/16" heel

  • Compatibility: Vintage 4-screw telecaster bridge layouts

Pro Tip: For best performance and extended template life, take light, progressive passes with a clean, sharp top-bearing router bit.
