Are there templates available for Alembic electric guitars?

I have been struggling to find any out on the web.

Any help would be appreciated.

There might be templates, but they always look slightly different to me.

Design your own based on the features you like!
My templates look like Fender and Gibsons, but I tweak them to my liking.
My recent Explorer looks like a Gibson, but the body width is 4" wider, and I changed the straight lines to arcs.
For me, it's more satisfying making your own design than trying to copy a design.
Rock on,
Dan

I have a posterboard tracing of an Alembic Further that I used to have, and also a posterboard cutout of a Warmoth version of the Tribute model.

Nothing on the web though that I've been able to find.
