no worries Alkay, the G type headstocks are the easiest to shape as you only need to shape the top.

Good luck with the patchup see how it goes

Hi wokkaboy,

Do you have a printable G headstock template you are able to share?

[wokkaboy]

Hi Alkay, it's not a very good image but I usually just pencil on a similar moustache shape, doesn't have to be perfect with a G type headstock.
Or come up with something original

ok cool, thats wokkaboy.

I did a few sketches last night. Here's the one I come up with I like the most.

It's only a concept so if I go with that I'll make the template more precise.

no worries Alkay, as you say have a play around with shapes doesn't have to be the exact G type shape

You will probably find the shape will be slightly different to your template anyway as you will be sick of sanding and shaping hahha

haha I can almost guarantee that one. That shape above has probably been done. With so many diy builders around the globe I'm sure there is no unique headstock shape left for most guitars. But I'll get to something I'm happy with and go with it.

that's it Alkay pretty well every shape has been done before. Some on the forum have done a horizontal S shape and left the corners the same height can work.
Just play around with a shape you like.
Another tip is to sticky tape your template to the headstock and look at it over a few days you may change your mind on a certain shape

Thats a good point haha.

yeah that HS shape is cool Alkay, that headstock is more like a PRS headstock is tapered toward the top but should work on your LP shape.
Have a good think about it as once the timber is cut there is rarely an undo button ! haha

Hahaha yeah I know. I'll pick three of my favourites and decide on which...it's a bit hard to put it all back together if I'm not happy with it haha.
