How to Route the perfect Humbucker Pickup Cavities (Tutorial)

Pickup placement and routing the needed cavities can seem challenging.
In this video I explain as much as possible how I position the pickups and show you that routing the pickup cavities isn't that hard to do.
Learn how to use a single template, a pillar drill with a forstner drill bit and a router with 2 router bits to get the perfect cavity for your Humbucker pickups every time.
The same techniques can also be used to route the cavities for single coil pickups.
