  1. Here's the thing... I own an ES-175. I'd like to make a guitar similar to it but not exact. I already laid the guitar on some tracing paper and managed to get a pretty nice outline. How do I do things like replicate the f-holes? Are there any nifty ways of tracing them? Also, how will I get the shape of the headstock, short of taking all the tuners off and tracing it? Basically I want some tips for a situation where you actually have a similar guitar to the one you want to make. Any good ways to exploit that? BTW, does anyone know of any sources for archtop templates? I know about the D'Angelico and Benedetto plans, but is that all there is? D'Aquisto? Assorted Gibsons? That would be nice! And hello! I'm new here.
