How about this for quick and easy?
On this I left the headstock exactly the same thickness as the neck, but grooved out where the tuners come through. 2 minutes with either a dremel or a round file, or clamp two headstocks together face to face, and drill right down the centre on ya drill press.
Maybe not pretty, but very fast :o)
Ah, well I like yours more Randy.
But Im scared of my router....
Luckily I'm not afraid of my router. I made a jig that I can slide my headstock into and use a template to cut the face off. Works pretty well, but I want to get a .5" rounded bit to make a gradual fade into the nut.
Yeah I don`t understand why anyone would be afraid to use a router, I have 3 of them and love using them. I`ve done alot of releif carving on big pieces of slabwood with them. For using on building guits their very useful, as is my dremels. Which I have the dremel router base too.

I could sdee why someone would be afraid. I'm sure you've had a piece of wood explode on the router table at one point or another. Or a big loud chip out. SCCRABBBLLLLLLKKKKKK!!! I hate that.
