Sources for accurate templates and molds

Post by Mike Van Brackle »

I'm wanting to wade back into building a few acoustics. But I'm low on big power tools and would prefer to just purchase some goof accurate templates and a body mold.

Does anyone have experience with the Waldron Instruments, Inc templates and/or molds? Or can you recommend another source for well-made ones?

I'd like to build a very close copy of a pre-war Gibson L-00.

Thanks for any help.

P.S. Please don't get into building my own at this time. Thanks.

John Hall at Bluescreek seems to get good reports for his templates and body molds. I personally haven't used any of them, but other builders say they are nice and that he is nice to deal with.
