nashville Corvette neck specs
Hey everyone. I've been a long time lurker and haven't posted much. I own a 5120 DC. I love it. Anyway, I've been holding on to a Nashville Corvette body for over a year, waiting to gather info on neck specs. So far I have the correct scale, nut width, and heel measurements. I would like a scaled pdf if possible. If one exists. I want to do the 2x4 headstock. I do have the skills required. I've built everything from a thinline la cab to a les Paul DC Jr. I have searched and searched. Surly someone has completed one of these bodies. I also need the neck angle. Any help would be so very much appreciated. Thanks in advanced to anyone with info.

Or, how about for the sake of everyone out there with the Nashville Corvette and astrojet projects, we could collaborate on coming up with a consensus on specs and possibly make a pdf template? I'd do this myself but, my cad skills are sub mediocre at best.

What else do you need? I have one and can give you any measurements, but don't know how to measure the neck angle.

The neck angle was the one thing I can't find anywhere. I'd also like an accurate headstock shape, maybe a pic of the 2x4 stock with measurements drawn on. Also need the angle of the headstock. Thanks guys!

Actually, I think I can figure the neck angle, at least close enough with a straight edge and a Tom bridge mounted on the body.

The guy who did mine didn't get the neck angle quite right so I had use a different bridge but it still worked fine. I can send you a photo of the headstock with measurements in the next few days. I could also try to measure the headstock angle.
