Description
Our simple headstock template is everything you need to lay out a basic cigar box guitar headstock. Use this if you are building a neck that is a single width for its whole length (ie. if the headstock doesn’t have cheeks).
Made from clear acrylic, you can still see your workpiece with the template in place. We use 5mm thick acrylic, so you can use it with a template-cutting router bit with bearing.
The template is based on the standard 35mm width typically used for cigar box guitars. With a bit of finagling it also works fine on necks that are a bit narrower or wider than this.
It includes markings for positioning tuners, whether you are building a 3 string or a 4 string cigar box guitar. If you’re making a 3 string, it also caters for situations where you might be using 2L and 1R tuners, or 1L and 2R tuners. The centre of the tuner position is a 2mm diameter hole. Just wide enough to push a bradawl through to mark the headstock, but tight enough to ensure accuracy.
Finally, the template includes a string spacing guide for marking the positions of the strings at the nut. Again, there are markings for 3 or 4 string guitars.
