Step 4 Cut the Template
First make a thin template as advised on YouTube.
New jig saw worked well on MDF.hihi
Then used the new belt sander on this jig I copied from YouTube, to finally shape the template. The belt sander on the jig has turned out to be very handy for many shaping jobs since.

Step 5 – How will the neck fit

I purchased a neck that was supposed to be Gibson style but it appears to be a hybrid with a Gibson neck and Fender foot. I decided to make it a bolt-on then if I eventually wanted a more Gibson type neck I can fit it. The neck pocket will not need to be very deep for this one.
The SG is supposed to have a 3 degree back angle but I will have to work that out when I get to cutting the neck cavity.

I have added a bit to the length to the tongue under the neck to give me a few options for fitting it.
