Westone X390 Pantera CB - Tribute Guitar Build - Taking Control over the Control Cavity Templates

Join me while I struggle to make the Control Cavity and Cavity Cover plate templates for the Westone X390 Pantera CB tribute Guitar Build.
In part 3 of this guitar building series I show and try to explain how I design and make the templates for the control cavity for this guitar by hand.

Usually designing and making templates for the control cavity isn't a big deal, but due to the curvature of this guitar body it took me some effort to figure out how I was going to do this one.

Recording this very detailed video took me some effort and I hope it provides some useful information as I get a lot of questions about how I make my templates.

This video turned into a very detailed tutorial on how to make guitar templates by hand using a couple of very basic tools.
