We restored this bass in two phases. The initial issues addressed were a broken headstock & a new pickguard.
Most people have seen my headstock repairs before, so I only posted a pic of the after. It was more a split running roughly a thirty degree angle to the wood grain, so it wasn't as traumatic as some of the others I've done. It only required reinforcement on one side. I used my traditional graphite spline.
Next was the pickguard. This was quite challenging. The original pickguard was not available, so no template. I used the pic I found in the first post, used the largest pickguard blank I could find, and freehanded one. I think I got pretty close.
