To make the necessary holes and spaces for all of the parts to go, such as the pickups, a router is needed. To use a router for carving something other than the edges of your wood you would need to make a template. I did this by carefully measuring the distances from the 12th fret to the front of where I want each pickup to go. This took a long time because I had to do a few test cuts to make sure I was in the right spot. The part that was most tedious would definitely have to be routing out multiple layers within the hole for electronics to rest on. Then there is the thin 1/4" thick cut to lay the plate to cover the parts. This had a magnanimous amount of risk involved but somehow it worked.
