Template Design

[gbarcus]

I’m sure I’m not the only one to this, but has anybody had success with sending a full size template to a customer who has committed financially?

The idea I've been throwing around would be to get some basic info from the customer and then send them a full size template with outlined constraints such as neck width, fret markers, body length, bridge position… Then have the customer draw their own design.
This would be opposed to the fuzzy pic of a napkin design devised during a moment of epiphany.
I figure tracing some of my templates on a couple pieces of poster board could save me a lot of back and forth.

Templates never leave my shop and should some poor sot put a ding in one of my templates they receive a stern talkin-to.

Paper drawings are much cheaper to send, and AutoCAD drawings are free to email.

Thanks for clarifying, what I meant to say was full size paper template.

And I have to agree with you, I've spent too much time on them to let anybody mess with my templates.
