Hi Guys
Just ordered the TLA-1 Ash body can't wait for it to arrive.
Can anybody tell me where I can get a Tele headstock template I can print
off for shaping the headstock when she arrives.
I have searched with the Google machine for hours, and have come up with
a couple, but they don't seem to be to the correct scale when I print off.
Anybody know where I can get an authentic Tele one from, or does anybody have one, happy to pay for
a template as well.

The GuitarPlansCollection has a lot of useful templates, including a good selection of F-type headstock variants.
Make sure your printer is set to not 'scale image to fit' or manually set it to 100% scale, otherwise you'll have sizing issues. Usually there is a 1" guide on the templates you can measure to check the scale. You may actually have to tweak the scaling +/- a few percent to match your headstock's size and spacing.
Thanks for that WBQuote:

Hey Dodge,
I downloaded this pdf from the link has a heap of different tele and strat headstocks,
instead of view I said download and keep file, it's too large for me to upload (20kb limit)
download the "Fender headstocks, again, but different" link has a a few variants
Thanks Guys
Just downloaded one and printed her off and it's exactly to scale give or take a bees nose hair. Just stuck it to some real thick card and about to cut it out. Soon as I get my TLA kit will cut out the head stock. I'm gonna do it by hand with a coping saw rather than the jig saw, and go reeeeal slow.
Thanks for the help
