Kirk’s ST-1 Ash Build

[Bakersdozen]

Thanks for showing interest! I’ll appreciate any help and pointers from the community along the way.

The Illustrator files are self created, I just took the templates of the headstock and traced it. I then took a photo of my guitar neck and dropped it into illustrator at 1:1 size. I then created a straight edge notched where the fret bars were located. After that, a bit of 3mm transparent black acrylic lasered did the trick.

If i were to do it again, I’d take the two headstocks lasered, and make them one solid piece that has a bend in it to wrap around the headstock...that way i could easily throw it on, put a bolt through one of the tuner holes and hit the coping saw with complete confidence.

Currently planning for some laser work for the headstock and possibly the back of the guitar neck during the finishing process...

Very cool. Do you have access to the laser technology or are you getting them commissioned? We are all here to help, so ask anything you want without fear mate.

I have a mate who has one in his shop. Small one though, so will need to make my decisions before i put it all together!
