    QUESTION?

    Headstocks (on the SG-1 & ES-1G) - its a bit hard to tell from the photos of the kits but I was wondering if the size of the blank headstock permits the "wider" Gibson-style sized headstock to be cut from the blank rather than the narrower Epiphone-style headstock?

    Keep on rockin'

    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    hello, I have an LP-1m kit and have chosen to do a Gibson design I have traced the shape on the top of the headstock just wondering what is the best method to cut out the headstock without damaging the wood?

    Thanks guys

    If you have a jig saw, tape the back of the headstock and use a fine toothed blade.
    Then do the final shaping with a half round bastard file then sandpaper.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
