I have this jig and love it. I did find, however, that I wanted a little more width on the outside of the slot, so I use a 1/2" template baring. This gives me 8mm on the outside and a 5/8" slot. Also, be sure to keep the sides FLUSH with the jig. My last guitar has one side that is skewompus (user error). Thanks Robbie! Steve |

+1 on what Steve said, the edges end up pretty thin if you follow the directions. I like mine a bit thicker. Good jig. Easy & accurate with plenty of router base support on the massive aluminum plate. |
