Re-Shapping

My little Project,re-shaping Harley Benton's headstock making it more Fenderish Vintage 50s style Bass. made my own Harley Benton decal using a waterslide A4 paper and printed using Canon inkjet printer. lastly changed the bridge to a genuine Fender bridge.

    Nice video. Thinking of trying this myself. Is it preferable to use a palm sander like you did, rather than my orbital?

    Mouse type palm sander has pointy bit and much easier to sand on awkward and odd shapes or patterns like this.

    If you have not done anything like this it will take full day.but if you have the knowledge and the right tools it will be easy.the only pain is applying the decal.

    What he did is not all that accurate. The contour is already going down just before the string tree and really “humps downward” immediately past it.

    they can't, Fender have some patent or something for this shape, thats why only Fenders and Squiers can have these heads (body have slightly different shape, too)
