    Hi all not much of an update but i have made some templates for the body and have ran into my first problem, i didn't have a straight cut router bit with a bearing on the top so i had to stop. Does anyone know a good place to get one of the top bearing router bits? the big green shed sells them but was wondering if there was any where else before i go there. Also my neck pick up from pitbull guitars cam today, an enwistle hvx, i already have a entwistle darkstar for the bridge. made a little radius gauge too.Click image for larger version.

    pickups look good Farnzie.
    where are you located ?
    if you are in a largish town or city search for a woodworking tool/machine shop should stock the correct router bit.
    The big green shed won't have much of a selection

    no worries Farnzie, send Kelooe (similar spelling aka Pest) a PM he lives in the area and may know of some local woodworking tool shops

    Carbitool are Melbs based, check out their website and you will see a section called Laminate Trim bitz (or something like that)
    Great bits and very reasonable price.
    Here is the product code T 8212 B

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hey farnzie,
    I'm also base out in the SE parts of Melbs, and Carbatec is near me. Willmott aren;t based out here so if you want to get the bits quickly then I'd recommend them, I once went there to buy their clock (which IMO is awesome!). Apart from them I haven't found any local woodworking shops.
