Transferring blueprint specifications to the wood can be cumbersome, and that's why we designed these time-saving templates. They're a tremendous help for the first-time builder or the seasoned pro, and ensure fast, accurate, consistent layouts. Made of precision laser-stenciled transparent plastic, our F-5 mandolin set lets you easily lay out the complex curves of the peghead, top and back, without guesswork.

The F-5 mandolin set includes profiled .040" clear plastic templates for the body and peghead, with etched centerlines. Locations for the F-holes, tone bars, pegholes and truss rod access hole are accurately stenciled, so you can quickly pencil the marks on the wood through the template. The tough plastic won't tear or crack, and the woodgrain is clearly visible for correct positioning.
