    Hi all,

    Wondering if I could get some help with this. I’m attempting a few DIY projects and one of them is converting to active pickups in my guitar. I really liked the look of the ESP “ash tray” battery box design so I purchased one here:

    https://www.musamaailma.fi/en/esp-battery-box

    A few small details that makes this seem a little harder than I expected - the inner part that should be recessed has a border radius that needs to be cut just right otherwise the screw hole might interfere with it. The screw holes themselves are recessed into the wood as well.

    Does anyone know of a router template from ESP that would make this job easier?

    Thanks!

    This may be what you’re looking for.  I’ve purchased a lot of Stew Mac products, but have not used this particular product.  It appears that you’re in Finland.  Stew Mac does ship to Finland.

    Hope this helps.  Good luck.

      I’ve seen this, the problem is this template isn’t for the ESP “ash tray” type of battery box. It doesn’t have the same dimensions.

      I’m not in Finland, actually - I just happened to find that product at that site. But, I bought the exact same ESP part off EBay.
