Control Cavity Templates


Read 5 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Transparent acrylic routing templates are laser-cut for smooth-edged precision. They ensure proper router placement on a guitar body, eliminate guesswork and produce cleaner results. We recommend ball-bearing router bits for best results.They can be positioned with countersunk screws or double-stick tape. 3/16" (4.76mm) thick.

Set of two templates: for the cavity in the body, and the recess shape for flush mounting the cover plate.

not quite II

I have to agree with Cory. I'll probably have to make a template for the inner part myself.

not quite

The fact that these are laser-cut made me think they should be superior to any template I could make myself. The fact is, the outer template does not have smooth transitions from the straight section to the rounded ends. As you get to the rounded part, the shape actually goes outward a bit. This results in an imperfect cavity shape (hard to match cover plate shape exactly to this cavity shape). To be honest, I could just make a template myself if I was satisfied with this level of precision.

Another great tool from SM.

Used along with the SM control cover, this is the easiest and neatest install I've done on a control cavity cover.

Good Templates

Could be a little higher but fixed with some shims. I had no problems using these templates.

Lots of space

What you see is pretty much what you get with these templates they are well made Plexiglas templates...duh. The size is very usable and will accommodate several knobs, switches, jacks, etc. You may, or may not be able to do a Les Paul style layout (though I don’t know why you would want to) but it's still quite a bit of real estate. There is also a lot of space for the cover to rest on, I will probably remove material from the cavity template to provide even more room inside, you never know I may want to build a BC Rich Bich one day.
