StewMac Neck Shaping Templates for Acoustic Guitar, 1935 Martin 000-18

Build an iconic neck, just like the original
We've been meticulously measuring the necks of some of the most amazing and timeless guitars ever made to create these super-accurate shaping templates. Each template is laser cut from hard plastic for a lifetime of use in your shop.

Everything you need to make perfect reproductions of sought after necks. These new templates have the exact contours of the neck shape from the 1st, 5th, and 10th frets, and several heel shapes. We also measured the thickness of the neck from the bottom of the fretboard, and etched the measurements on the tool.

More than just the neck profile, we also exactly copied the shape of the heel, neck to heel transition, and heel cap. You can finally recreate every detail of these amazing necks with precise detail.

Each template is a set of two, giving you 7 laser-cut contours for extreme accuracy.

Templates include:

• Exact neck profile at the 1st, 5th, and 10th frets
• Nut width dimensions
• Neck thickness dimensions at the 1st, 5th, and 10th frets (to the bottom of the fretboard
• Heel cap
• Neck to heel transition
• Heel front profile
• Heel side profile

If you are a custom builder, you'll love being able to offer customers neck profile choices that have been recognized and loved by generations of players.

With this template, you can make a neck that's just like a 1935 Martin 000-18
