Premiere Strat Build 2021 - Part 01 - The Secrets of Making or Buying Templates
We are continuing our all new series…the greatest, most complete, and overly detailed lessons on how to make a Strat style guitar. Fender style guitars are the best guitars to build for people new to the guitar building scene. They are simple…yet amazingly efficient. Leo Fender was an absolute genius…inventing things that are still widely used over 60 years later.
This series is based upon my personal electric guitar teaching curriculum at a local community college. Although I believe an in person learning experience is still best…that is not possible for most people. This series is designed to give you the knowledge and guidance needed to build a great Strat of your own. There will be a minimum number of tools required…some are more important that others…but where there is a will…there is a way.
We will be using the Maximum Guitar Works template system. The basic six piece set includes the body and pickup rout template, the neck pocket template, the back tremolo template, neck template, fretboard template, and the standard pickguard template. The complete basic template system include safety grips and hardened steel drill bushing for alignment and accuracy. This template set that will be used in this video series sells for $300 plus shipping. There are other options available, please ask for any special needs. To order, contact us at info@maximumguitarworks.com, or use the contact page or phone number on our website (www.maximumguitarworks.com)
Learn more about the template systems through my past KZread videos.

Thanks. The hardest part is to start. The second hardest part is to finish! Man...that quote should be in a book somewhere.
Great once again Steve. I'm really looking forward to using this series as a guide to build my first Strat. Excellent my brother!

@@maximumguitarworks man, right now I just want to have like 4 guitars in various stages of completion in my shop at all times. That's my goal, that's my dream.
This brings me back to when I first started out and this is exactly how I built my first few teles and strats. Later on I invested in some CNC cut MDF templates from a highly regarded seller to minimize any possible variances. While I'm sure the CNC ones are a bit more accurate, anyone can still make a perfectly fine guitar getting as close to the lines by slapping a full size blueprint on MDF

I appreciate that Thomas...and I have enjoyed our communications. Thanks for the template order. I look forward to hearing about and seeing your results.
Thank you for posting these videos - you have inspired me to have a go at a Tele (one of your template sets on order!). I was also wondering what model of laser you were using - it is hypnotic to watch. Regards from the UK.
the acrylics are nice for lefties like myself as well. we do exist.
