What router bit(s) for pickup cavities

lovestrat74

As above what type and sized router bits do you use to route your pickup cavities with templates?

Cheers

Generally a 1/2" radius trim bit (with a bearing) is fine unless you're routing for e.g. Jazz Bass pickups. You don't want anything too long, 

Wealden bits are good, Trend will do the job.

Wealden are excellent.

Agree about Wealden, they’re good quality - economising on router cutters can spoil your day if the bearing breaks, as has happened to me in the past …
