Tele headstock thickness

[bterry]

Does anyone have measurements or happen to know the approximate thickness of vintage Tele headstocks? I'm talking the thickness on the part of the neck where the tuners are drilled, maybe something like 9/16?

We're they pretty standard or did they vary much?

Thanks!

What I have found is 0.5800".

From the Blackguard book the dimensions in a table in the back of the book range from 0.55 to 0.60, with the average being 0.578 (33 guitars total, measurements in thousandths).
