Re: Introduction
The OM and 000 14 fret are the same body the only main difference is scale length. The pictures you are posting are not exactly representational of the actual size , that is why you are seeing a bit of difference. I do make the molds for CF Martin so I know that the 000 14 fret and OM are the same body profile.. The sound hole is in a different position because of the 2 scale lengths. Maybe you would like the Jumbo or M size.

Re: Introduction
J,
Makes sense! I suggest you trace your Applause and make a template, build a mold from your template, and make the guitar you are describing....that is one of the beauties of building it yourself.
Most likely you can use standard bracing patterns for the OM, etc.
Make sense?

Re: Introduction
yes Kevin, that's about what I was thinking by the end of the day.
John, I kind of figured they were very close and it was a picture scale issue
But the three side by side do a good job of illustrating what it is I'm looking for.
