these are gtreat template to work with.I make thicker templates and keep these for masters.

Not what it claimed to be. Although this is a nice, quality template, It does not accurately fit the wilkinson/gotoh vs100 trem, as I was informed by Stewmac that it would not only fit it, but perfectly. Once I received the template, I placed trem inside (and on several different angles and axis) and it didn't line up properly where the bridge pins are supposed to go. If I had a Strat, this would be perfect... but I don't, so it is a $13.75 paper weight. There should be more detailed information on it... or any of these for that matter. A little disappointed.

Awesome product,great solution for my work!

I purchased the set for a traditional Strat tremolo, and believe me, these are worth the little bit of money! Since I don't have a template following router bit I didn't use them as a template, but with the precise cutting of them, and the detailed instructions, I could simply put them where they needed to be, trace inside them, and route this with a regular router bit and some guides clamped on to the body. Even like that (although it takes a little longer) it works very smoothly! Without these I do not think I would have ever wanted to build a guitar with a tremolo, but these save so much time, hassle, guessing, and precision work that it almost makes routing the cavity fun! The picture shown is of the rear cavity in an American black walnut Strat body that I'm currently building.

Bon gabarits, ils vont trFs bien, aucun problFmes. Daniel

I don't have workshop or a drill press, so my first try at drilling holes for a classic strat trem didn't go so well. After gluing some dowels, this template got me back in business. Lesson learned.

good quality template. but does not fit MIM strats :(

These are good templates but I agree with some of the other reviews that they need to be thicker. I did a practice run on a scrap piece of wood and although the cut out was acceptable, I did notice that the bit nicked the side of the template when the bearing on the bit slid up.My solution was to use a a routing bushing set that I had instead of the recommended bearing set sold by stew-mac. The route was slightly smaller than the required hole, but my solution was to simply reposition the template after the initial cut and finish it out to the correct size. Using the bushing set instead of the stacked bearings, I eliminated the possibility of the bit getting into the template and ruining it and quite possibly the project.

achei um pouco pequena as dimensoes ... para prender no corpo da guitarra.. mas tudo bem ... gostei mesmo assim.

I used the template for a recent strat build. Along with the double stick tape, the template gave me first class results. These aren't everyday items for me, but the right tool can make all the difference in the world. Thanks again, Stew-Mac.
