Default Baggs Anthem Stage Pro Template

Has anyone ever retro fitted an Anthem Stage Pro preamp on the side of their guitar in the hole a previous preamp left? I currently have an iMix preamp in my guitar and am thinking about putting in the Anthem Stage Pro. I was told the Anthem Stage Pro is slightly smaller than the iMix preamp.

Has anyone made a template? Just wondering how you went about it.

I did, had to get a larger hole than my previous Fishman Presys+. But I paid a guitar making company to do it for me so I don't really know the details!

It can be done! You would want to make sure you really trust the luthier you are having do the work.

I got my luthier to retrofit Anthem Stage Pro over Fishman Prefix Plus and he did a fine job but these two preamps differ not only in dimensions
but also in the curve which supposedly follows the guitar curve.
It turned out that he had to fill in the gap between The Stage Pro and the guitar to mask the difference.
