les paul carving templates

als427

does anyone know where to get les paul  and also PRS arch top carving templates in the uk?
Its a series of thin templates that let you essentially carve the top with a router , to get the rough shape.
Have a pic but don't how to attach - google it if you need to - thanks

The Les Paul Forum or My Les Paul are the places to go, I forget the username of the guy that did them originally but I think his name is Scott...

It's exnihlo but i think you'll need to make another step before the first step or you take too much out first go and end up with a recurve that's too deep, i used those originally years ago that's how i know and it looks wrong
