Template

I completed the template that I will use for the Batman logo. Its not exactly the way I envisioned it. I was hoping to go with the Tim Burton/Michael Keaton 1989 logo, but it just wasn't conducive to a guitar body shape. It was a little too long. If I enlarged it enough to fit in the pickups and bridge, it would be almost as long as the neck.

I ended up just drawing it free hand on a piece of bristle board. Then cutting out half and tracing it so it would be symmetrical.

I also chiselled out the round hump that the jointer left in the neck. That went smooth too.



Here is the round cut left from the jointer with a little bit chiselled out.

And now nice and square

This is the logo I was thinking of using. But its just too narrow for guitar hardware. 

The one I eventually drew was squished with a wider center. It sort of looks like the symbol from the spotlight. So I can still say its the 1989 version :)
