Anyone have teh standard dimensions for a Martin headstock? I'm building my first, an OM/OOO, and think I want to stick with the standard Maring headstock shape and dimensions. My headstock is oversized so I need to trim.

Thanks!

I have the headstock scanned for a person I am building a guitar for, It's just the top but it's to scale. If you want it let me know.

After looking at John's sketch and dimensions I have one more question.

The headstock tapers out from the nut upward to teh point where it is 2 3/8" wide. Don't you need the dimension from the top of the headstock to the point where the headstock is 2 3/8" wide to reproduce the headstock?........or am I overlooking something?

Best I can determine using Todd's suggested method, the dimension I asked about is 5 1/4".
