Hi John,

Are there OM neck profiles by chance? Or are they pretty close to these?

they have so many templates but I managed to find these.
Plexiglass is great for this
also a good video idea on how to get a template of an existing neck

I use 1/4" VC plywood for mine. I like the fact that I can use a light from behind to quickly find any high spots or irregularities.
