Gibson made the first prototype for the Flying V in 1957, the production began 1958 (81 made) and stopped 1958 (17 made).

After long research and time for collecting the info reg. vintage specs and dimensions from the few ever made FlyingVs we are happy to offer - according our knowledge - the first and yet only vintage-correct template set.

All data were collected over the past years by our friends from SavantGuitars and are based (among others) on personal info from MAX, Dave (Dave´s Guitar Shop, who has a real 58V in his collection) as well as from info about Michael Schenker´s V and from a German luthier who wants to stay anonymous but has repaired one and took records - and of course from numerous internet sources, that were carefully verified (majority of internet info reg. the 58Vs are wrong).

All templates are available individually, please ask if interested in an partially upgrade of your existing set from other source than ours.

For the serious replica maker we offer the templates in two sets at a discounted price: there is a "Body template set" and a "Neck template set", each of them containing several routing templates.

These templates are laser-cut to highest precision, material: 6mm birch-multiply

This NECK SET contains the following templates/parts:

1. template for vintage V-headstock incl. holes for tuners
This template does not end at the nut position but reaches into the 1st fret location for better routing the area of the transistion headstock->1st fret.

2. template for neck side profile incl. 17degr. headstock angle
Back (headstock, heel, neck) is done a bit ovesized for final adapting (sanding) according your actual project.

3. template for tapered top of neck (headstock)

4. template for routing the long the tenon to the neck

5. template for doing the vintage old-rule-of-18 scale incl. position of the dots
This template indicates the nut position as well as center marks for excellent positioning of the fretboard dots; the slots are set to (a bit less than) 0.5mm / 0.019" width so you can use a regular razor blade for marking the slot positions precisely to the fretboard, then do the fretslots with the fretting equipment of your choice.
Vintage sized fretwire you can find here.
Vintage style truss rod set you can find here.

6. template for sizing the fretboard
This template is for tapering a fretboard to the vintage width; taper is set to the wider side of vintage correct fretboard widths (1st fret 43,8mm, as found on Michael Schenker´s 58V), but it is flexible due to the lengthwise oversized geometry of this template: you can move it down and will result in a smaller width of the final board. Just check the template for your desired width at 1st fret and move this point to the according part of your fingerboard and rout flush.

7. template for doing the 2.0 (Flying V) + 4.0 (Les Paul) degree cut to the neck
This is a combined template for doing the typical neck angle cut to the side of the neck for a Flying V and a vintage Les Paul.

8. SAVE: this set comes with a nylon 6/6 nut blank and a pearloid 3/32" side dot set for free.
3/32" drill bit for side dots you can find here.


This neck routing template set is good for making a full 1958 Flying V neck, right for accepting the hardware of your choice (hardware not included).
