Neck Pocket Template

With the neck near completion I've made a template for routing the neck tenon. This is one point where I'm changing the Firebird blueprint considerably. My neck is going to be set much deeper into the body. This will result in the neck feeling less "long", and will also bring the top layout of pickups, bridge, etc...further back. Once the neck is glued in I'll probably end up deepening the lower, treble side cutaway to allow a bit more access to the upper frets.
