seeking accurate tracing/template for fender xii neck/headstock

Post by theninthwave » Thu Jun 23, 2022 2:29 pm

i am trying to have a electric xii neck built for my jazzmaster. i want the headstock to be vintage-accurate...same size, shape, length, etc. i am wondering if anyone has a template or tracing they would be willing to share. faction guitars has one for sale, but they state that it is not vintage accurate. the heel and nut width have been modified, which is fine, but i want to be sure that the headstock shape is correct. and all i really need is the headstock to give to my builder.

ps...if anyone has an actual vintage electric xii neck in their hands, i would love to know the measurement of the length of the headstock from the top edge of the nut slot (edge closest to the headstock) to the tip of the headstock. using a square, it would be easy to get pretty accurate.
