You may ask yourself...

i'm sure it wont break any rules if you post progress pics of the sc tele too...

That seems reasonable...

you can sneak it in a "group" photo...otherwise, forum is "misc"....

BTW...shouldn't this be in the "luthier" section?...dunno...

...but perhaps not!

I can assure you that I am in no way qualified to call myself a luthier.

It's been kind of a crazy summer, but I never stop thinking about this stuff.

Today I had some free time and knocked out the headstock shaping on the new necks.

I have one of those Rigid belt/spindle sanders, and that made quick work of the templates.

Once the templates were finished, the rough shaping only took a few minutes on a table router with a pattern bit.

I'm REALLY happy with the process and the design.

Here are pics:

Pretty cool headstock design!

Wow, if you ever need a big bottle opener, you'll have one close by. That's a very interesting headstock shape.

I thought this was going to be a Talking Heads thread.

And wow, that's a load of crap...er...I mean supplies!

MEEE TOOO :scowl:

Looking at the photos, I thought the proportions of the bass headstock weren't quite right.

When compared with the prototype, the bottom didn't look right, so I tweaked the bass headstock to more closely mirror the proportions of the guitar.

I was able to set up shop, do the work, tear down and clean up in less than an hour.

A subtle change, but well worth it I think:
