Has anyone used this guy's templates?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Jazzmaster-Template ... dZViewItem

My brother and I are going to build guitars once school is out, and I want to build a jazzy. I came across this on eBay. does anyone know if they're any good, or worth the $55. It seems like it shure would make things easy.

i have jazzy templates that are fixd,
its from that guy but i made my own master from it using a cyclone neck pocket.
its peerrrrfect now, but before there was about 4 mms of space on either side, it was insane.

wow, I guess I won't get one from him. Seems like there's plenty of people with templates, so I'll find one from someone. All I really need is a tracing that I can use to make my own template I guess. unless someone has a tempate they want to get rid of.

i think the body is correct tho hurb, as i understand it that temp is of a 59 jazzy.
the 59s had a different control caivty and the pup areas were a bit larger.
i remeber seeing the inside of a 59 adn thinking that they looked the same.

routes have always been pretty much the same rob, show me proof before i change my mind

The reason i know the whole thing is wrong is the first jazz(shaped guitar ) i got. is made from those templates and its all very much off...passable but off.
