Official Luthiers Forum!

I'm building my first 12 in a while and am reworking my 12-string headstock since I wasn't entirely happy with the designed I used in the past. For those of you who build 12s more often I would be interested to know a few of the key dimension you use.

-total length of the headstock
-distance from front of the nut/edge of the fretboard to first tuners
-space between tuners

Thanks for the help

Josh

Josh...
My 12 strings are all slot-headed so here's the scheme I settled on based on Stewmac's introduction of their Golden Age restoration tuners.

Total length = 8.75"
Edge of FB to the center of the first tuner post = 2.125"
Space between tuners (Stewmac #2502) = .922"

Here's a pic of the final result:
