    Great for starting out.

    I've always wanted to build a guitar by hand. I don't remember how I found these templates, but for a beginner, they worked perfect for me. The templates are easy to use. If you have any woodworking skills it'll be straight forward. If not, it's easy to figure out. Thanks Mike.

    Excellent Tele Template

    Posted by Andre Glenn on 2022 Jan 2nd

    This template is spot-on for a Tele. It is cleanly cut. There are no uneven spots. My only "nice-to-have" would be for the center-lines to be carried over onto the sides. For my current build, I'm using a Mighty-Mite Fender-licensed Tele neck and the neck pocket cut using this template is perfect. Its not too tight, and its not too loose.

    Excellent templates. Just what I was expecting. Wish there was a Neck Side Profile Template as well.

    T-Style template: Amazing!

    Posted by David Keeney on 2020 Dec 12th

    I am not an experienced woodworker and definitely not an experienced guitar maker. Potvin Guitars has made the make of a guitar accessible to me. The templates are well constructed, easy to use, and SUPER helpful. Moreover the customer service was amazing. If you have a question, comment, or concerns Mike gets back to you very quickly. I highly recommend his products.

    Beautiful product. I have other templates made of plexiglass. Nice to look at but not great accuracy that you get with Potvin products

    Simply Amazing

    Posted by Roman Wik on 2020 Oct 13th

    Not only are these templates perfect in every way - Neck pocket and neck template fit tight, everything lines up perfectly, etc. - but the service Mike provides is some of the best I've seen. He sent a handwritten message with the package, and is responsive on social media, and from other people I've heard from, he's great to chat with over the phone as well. If you're wondering which templates to go with, and are unsure of who you can trust, believe me as someone who is with you no that, you can trust Mike and his products. Bang on templates, excellence customer service and relations, and a great price to boot. I will definitely be coming to Mike first for my next templates! Bravo Mike!
