Is there a DXF of the headstock floating about (I can buy one off electric herald)? Only I have a laser cutter and waterjet at work so could do a nice template to bolt through the machine head holes and route with a bearing follower.

You can convert PDF to DXF easily enough with some of the free online services.

 

I was going to get a load of MDF templates made that way so might still have the .dxf file someplace, will have a look for you 👍

If you find it that would be appreciated.

the wife has named it Roary after the racing car cartoon. I see her point, don't like the colour, but £60 I can't complain. Thinking of refinishing in Olympic white with a tort guard to match my tele, ir possibly trying to chamber the body like a thinline.

 

Also wondering if there is a lefty out there fancy swapping necks to do the inverted headstock/Dusty Hill look.

@BillBdid you ever manage to make the template?

I fitted dowels to the Mk1 templates sent out to BC members, stopped after discovering nobody was using routers 😅

 

Dead easy to make, shape your template and position it on the rear of the peghead. Then it's just a dot of glue end of the dowel before dropping through the tuning peg hole.

G&L Tribute LB-100 - can be had for as little as £350 new on a deal and will kick a Squier P at a similar price point into the middle of next week IMO.

Good grief! I'm getting one of them right now! That's outrageous!
