This document contains templates for building an archtop guitar including fretboards, neck profiles, rim, resonator and headstocks. It was modified in January 2004 to include a new stainless steel truss rod style. The templates are scaled at 1:1 and are for a 650mm scale length guitar with fret position markings for the nut, 5th, 12th and 17th frets at a depth of 25mm. It also includes templates for the fretboard radius, bridge, pick guard and other guitar components.
