RE: Scrap and start over? (in reply to JasonM) 
Jason,

This actually looks very nice but one thing appears to be that you are too close to the purfling line when you just place a couple pieces of veneer to drop the side holes for the machines without having any real problem.

Try this by placing the veneer on the jig and drawing a thin pencil line through the hole where it should be........

RE: Scrap and start over? (in reply to Tom Blackshear) 
Hey Tom,

When it came time to drill the holes I remembered what you said about the purfling and using the veneer shim. In fact I ordered an extra piece to do this. The problem I had this time was that the headstock required some clean up and the thickness came out to a little under 14mm plus veneer instead of 15mm. I positioned the holes so that I wouldnt have the tuner plate hang over or under which required just nicking the purfling. The margin was so tight I felt I couldn't afford to shim it even by a hair. Luckily I don't think it's as noticeable compared to the last headstock.
