Description
Our futurist headstock template is a very modern, swept-back style of headstock, typically seen on electric guitars built for heavy metal. Sized for cigar box guitars, this futurist design suits more contemporary boxes – something like a glossy Camacho for example – or a solid body build.
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.
