    Ooh lucky. I had the same issue with my V templates in MDF, doesn't take much for the bit to grab it if you aren't being super careful. That was the main reason I went for mild steel with the new ones... probably be up for new router bits before I wreck them

    Yeh that's a good idea. Assuming the templates are more expensive than the router bits haha.

    The more I get into this build, the more I get tempted to do the neck from scratch as well.
