Modeled after the Gibson Explorer with a twist. This template kit has an Explorer style body made to spec, along with a matching Flying V style headstock. 

Cut and etched with laser precision, these cast acrylic, guitar making router templates are all you need to recreate your own version of the classic Gibson Explorer. We modified the back electronics cavity to be oversized but aesthetically pleasing, allowing for more space and electronics options than a standard Explorer. These kits include the major components needed to make your own guitar. The neck heel has been perfectly sized to fit the neck pocket template with nothing more than flush trimming with a router bit and light sanding. These guitar template options fit both 25.5” and 26” scale lengths, but you can alter designs to fit more options.

The body, neck, and neck pocket / pickup templates have precise centerlines etched by a laser to make for the most accurate aligning to your workpieces. The pickups are perfectly spaced for maximum tone differentials. The three piece electronics cavity templates include a lid, cavity, and lid recess to take all of the guess work out of a clean and accurate look. Don’t worry about drilling either, the neck has 6 perfectly spaced holes for marking for tuners and the 3 piece cavity template has holes to mark for magnet / fastener placements. Nearly all guess work and precise measuring is done for you with this kit, allowing you to focus on the more exciting aspects of guitar building.
