The headstock is shaped by tracing around the headstock template and then rough cutting outside the line on the bandsaw.  Then the template is attached with screws, and the headstock is machined to its final shape on the router table with a template bit.

The holes for the tuning machines are then laid out and marked.  The holes are drilled before the slots are cut.

The slots are then laid out on the headstock and rouch cut with a coping saw.  The headstock is then placed into the slotting jig, and the slots are accurately machined on the router table with a template bit.
