Hello group...

I am looking for a headstock template for the Reverse Gibson Thunderbird (1963-65) & Gibson Bicentennial Thunderbird (1976-79).
Correct me if I am wrong but the headstock for both of those model years are the same.

I have a later, post 2000, model Thunderbird with a broken headstock and I would like to have it modded to look like a 1963-65 model.
Adding; two piece bridge, chrome tuners, chrome pickups and rings, adding input jack to the front, etc...

Thanks!!!

Could anyone tell me if I am correct that the headstocks for those models are the same?
...and even if the Epiphone Elitist TBird headstock is close or the same?

Thanks for any input.

The headstocks on my '64,'65 and '77 TBirds are the same as my Orville by Gibson.  If the Elitist uses big footprint Gotoh reverse tuners I'd guess it is too.
