Post subject:  Martin Peghead Template

Looking for a template, with measurements, hole locations for a Martin-type peghead. Great if its in sketchup. D-28, or J40 fine.

Thank you!

I think stew Mac has an acrylic template with holes and nut slot. Pretty sure that's where I got mine...

I lasered one out.. makes things easier than trying to guess the dimensions. Took about 10 minutes to make it up in CorelDraw.

Tai, not sure what u mean. I draw my templates in Sketchup. Set printing to scale. Print it, cut it out and glue to peghead. Sanding shape to outline. Fairly certain this is a common practice.

I have a laser engraver. I draw it up in Corel Draw and then the laser makes a template for me. No sanding or trying to get a curve right without bumps...
