found accurate prints

Post by tippie53 »

there are a number of sites out there offering prints and plans. I know the plans on the site I posted used tracing I prvided from old guitars I have had in my shop. Interesting fact is that Martin didn't have any real blueprints until the 70's. The plans offered here are from old prewar designs.
Also http://www.grellier.fr/en/downloads are pretty good.

Hope you can find this helpful

So John, the plans on cadguitarplans.com are from your tracings? If so that's very cool and good to know.

Thanks for the info

Thanks John. I actually drafted plans from your photos and measurements of the OM and Dread tops, found here on the forum. The links you provided are great. It's good to know where to find accurate plans.

I'm currently using the 00 plans from them. It's been useful to get little details such as brace carving dimensions, block sizes, and to generally have full size plan to lay things down on for validation. This plan matches John's halo set.
