BillB Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 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.

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 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillB Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 So, got it home: 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Roary... like it, suits the chequered flag strap... You seem to have something lodged in the strings at the second fret?.. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @police squad 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief! I'm getting one of them right now! That's outrageous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
