Humbucker routing templates

[TheHulk]

I didn't see a DIY forum section so I guess Ill post this here. My next creation will have direct mounted pickups, like you see on a MM Axis or EVH Wolfgang. Does anyone have some quality humbucker routing template PDF's? I know I could buy the physical templates from stewmac, but I would like the PDFs to put into auto cad and place on the body template. Do Seymour Duncan pickups have specific measurements? Or are Humbuckers generally universal?

Thanks!

Re: Humbucker routing templates

For the most part, most Duncan humbuckers follow the follow dimensional specs:

Trembucker dimensions: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/dimensionpages/tb59.shtml
Standard humbucker (long leg) dimensions: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/dimensionpages/sh-1.shtml
Standard humbucker (short leg) dimensions: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/dimensionpages/sh5.shtml

Each of the product pages for each pickup has a link to dimensions which you can check if you're getting a non-typical model.

As for the actual route, it depends on how tightly fitted you want the pickup and how much extra space you want. For example, a route for a trembucker with a cover might necessitate a slightly larger route than a standard spaced humbucker without a cover.

Thanks so much! I've been looking everywhere for these. Much appreciated.

Re: Humbucker routing templates

Any idea where these pages might now be found? The links are no longer valid. Surprisingly, I'm finding trembucker/humbucker templates are much more difficult to locate than I anticipated. I'm getting ready to install a SD Pearly Gates Trembucker in the bridge position of a new Telecaster build and was looking for any info I could find. I'm sure I can figure it out, just thought the templates would be readily available. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
