Description
This asymmetric headstock template is a bit more modern than most of our other headstock templates. However, it’s still arranged with tuners on either side. If you prefer a modern design with tuners all in-line, have a look at our futurist headstock template. The asymmetric headstock ignores all symmetry and isn’t afraid to be a bit “pointy”. Although you can round the points during sanding if you prefer.
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. 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.
