Description
I created this template to help position a small pilot hole when installing a 9v Fishman Fluence battery charger into a back plate on a guitar cavity. I've found myself trying to eyeball the position and have messed up one of my guitars as a result. Not anymore :)
The template can also be used simply for making the initial transfer mark. You don't even have to drill through the print.
Place the flat side of the print against the foil back plate to get proper placement. While holding the print against the back plate in 1 hand, keep flipping your back plate up/down to check it against placement with your pots, wiring, and routed edges in the guitar cavity.
I made a small mark with a wooden awl to get it to transfer on the foil. You can widen the hole if you need to with a small drill bit. You will want to gradually step up your drill bits until you hit the 1/2" size required for the Fishman battery charger.

Notes:
All solid is probably ok, I may have done that. 4-5 walls is good, especially if you widen the hole, then it won't blow it while drilling the pilot like it might with only a few outlines. The template can also be used simply for making the initial transfer mark. You don't even have to drill through the print.
