Routing of the Dummybody

I have my layers of plywood painted, and glued together. Now I have started routing the body, to test out how things will go together. The control pocket cavity is done, as well as the in put jack (neither are pictured). One very crucial route is for the neck. Since the neck will be glued in, this route can not be off in any way. I'll soon cut out a board to represent the neck, and glue it to the plywood body. After that, I'll start carving out the top.

I'm very glad that I slowed things down about a month ago. With the extra time, and patience, I have noticed just how accurate I can make things. My neck pocket route is going to be perfectly square. That was something I was dredding. That I might spend all this time on the guitars, and the neck goes on crooked. The first picture is of my custom tapered template. It's is about a 3.5 degree angle for my neck route. I wasn't sure if I would get it to turn out, but it's dead on.
