Does anyone know where i can find a template for a swimming pool/universal route for a Tele body?
I have a fairly new Squire body with a single coil in the neck, and want to open it up for a neck humbucker n middle tele pup.
my neighbour can do the routing for me, I just have to suply the template. Found a blueprint for the Tele, but its for a s/c in the neck.

CM,
The designation "swimming pool" refers to an open rectangular area that houses the neck and middle pups. "Universal" refers to an open rectangular area that houses all three pups. ChrisK has done the swimming pool thing in at least one of his Tele-like builds, but I don't recall him submitting anything with a universal routing.
If you wanna make your own template (out of hardwood), then I can give you the needed dimensions for a universal route. Should be easy to just shorten them for a swimming pool.....

Universal was something that popped up when I was googling about routing a telecaster. Think it's cool they still use the swimming pool term, thought universal was a new word to describe the swimming pool. Suppose once I get the pickguard from warmoth i could measure it out then work from there. Seeing as the wire routing is from the neck to the bridge, straight down, a rectangle shape sounds like the best approach.
I have a old Hagstrom with a universal and you can get some neat semi-acoustic like sounds playing unplugged.
