Last night I laid out my idea for a headstock on a piece of paper, I had intended to use this as a template but it is just as easy to copy the layout from the dimensions I marked out on the piece of paper. I can always make a template later when I go into mass production!
With the clamps removed I started to sand smooth the head. There is plenty of spare material to lay the head out on but I need to us a little filler otherwise I will be sanding all day.
After a little more sanding I laid out the headstock shape on the blank. It is a nice simple shape and although it looks completely different to a Gibson or Epiphone headstock it shares pretty much the same footprint in terms of its overall dimensions.
Next I need to rough out the blank and take some of the width out of the top of the neck as it tapers towards the headstock.
