Guitar Tuner Hole Marking Template

The guitar tuning-machine hole marking template is a layout tool designed to make the positioning of inline tuners on an electric guitar headstock repeatable and consistent. This guitar tuning-machine hole marking template lets you quickly mark mounting-hole positions without having to measure or recalculate the spacing for every instrument.

The guitar tuning-machine hole marking template is deliberately simple to use and suited to workshop work. The template aligns directly with the top edge of the guitar headstock. Once positioned, simply mark the drilling locations before carrying out the final drilling operation. This method limits marking errors, improves consistency between instruments and reduces preparation time.

Of course, the guitar headstock must already have been cut or machined so that the template can be positioned against its edge.

This guitar headstock tuner template is intended for marking positions. It does not replace a drill guide with bushings, which is more suitable for drilling with a drill press. Once the positions are marked, it provides a reliable basis for a neat, consistent tuner layout. The guitar headstock tuner template is particularly suited to the inline tuning machines used on most electric guitars.

The template is machined from clear Plexiglass, with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm depending on material availability. This thickness offers a good balance of rigidity, stability when marking and visibility of the reference marks on the headstock. The clear Plexiglass also allows accurate visual checking of alignment.

This tuning-machine template is intended for luthiers, workshops, repair technicians and DIY enthusiasts who want to work methodically and repeatably. It is suitable for both instrument building and maintenance or tuner replacement.

If you use specific hardware, a particular tuner model or spacing different from your usual standards, custom manufacture is possible.
