tom1946 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Hi all, I have a couple of maple necks that came with a squared off headstock at the bottom, can anyone suggest where I can get a template to shape it like a f****r stock please? Would a fretsaw do the job ok? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 When I reshaped the headstock on a Harley Benton P Bass, I used a set of "cup" measures to draw round and used an orbital sander to reshape it. If I did it again, I'd use a Dremel or similar craft tool. That said, there wasn't much wood to remove. If you have a lot to get rid of a fretsaw or jigsaw to get a rough shape and then finish with a sander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
