Anyone have a mid/late 60s Batwing headstock Coronet/Wilshire?

If so, would you be kind enough to draw around the headstock for me please? or take dimensions at various places?

TIA

Can do. I can trace it and scan it if that's OK. Happy to measure too.

Any use?

That would be excellent thank you. If you can add some measurements all the better.

If not for this thread I would never have seen the earlier one. What a remarkable guitar!

Yes thanks it looks to be the right shape whatever its provenance!

Just sold such a guitar 3/4 weeks ago so can't help - I have a Coronet, that Neil @IvisonGuitars borrowed to spec his own model - But 3 aside h/stock

It's kind of fun knowing that if not quite one of a kind, then there certainly too many others out there like it, whatever the hell it is! I do wish the neck wasn’t so bloody skinny though - I used to think that was the best thing ever, but now I find it near impossible to play for more than a few minutes at a time. That said, nearly forty years on, it still sounds pretty good through the old AC30 I bought on the same day!
