Cheers Jonny

I just happen to be making one right now to replace one that someone shaved down too far instead of doing a neck reset. If it looks like the one below then I could trace it for you and mail or just photograph it unless someone else has another solution.

Got a copier scanner?

Yeah I suppose I could do that too. But isn't there some discrepancy between print and jpeg and sizing and all that?

This is the Guild shape I have used in the past and the same as shown in Guild's replacement parts catalog -- there is a full size drawing in David Russel Young's construction book.

Yeah they have gone through some changes. The one I pictured above is from a 60's D-40. The pin holes are drilled at a 10deg angle too.
