I've been searching for 000 plans and have only found two. One at StewMac, the other at Elderly Instruments. Are there any others I should know about? Is one better or worse than another, or are they all basically the same? Thanks in advance for your help. Gotta get that list off to the N. Pole soon! J.R. |

LMI has the 14 fret 000 by Scott Antes. I am just doing the final touches on two of these guitars. The bracing is a bit heavy on the plans so I lightened it up quite a bit. Both are very loud and beautiful sounding instruments. The Stewmac plan is a 12 fret 000 which has a different body shape than the Antes plan. I built one of those earlier this year and it is a great little guitar. |

The only issue I have with the 2 plans is the bracing location is not true to Martin and Antes is over braced. other wise they are close enough. |

[QUOTE=ToddStock]I should also mention that John has tracing sets which show accurate brace locations, soundhole centroid, side profiles, and outline off the Martin factory templates. If you are to the point of not needing basic construction details off the Antes or McRostie drawings, John's stuff is a better bet. He's provided me with OOOO, D-12, and 00-12 & 00-14 tracing sets, none of which are available elsewhere.[/QUOTE] Todd, Who is John and where do I find these? I'm sure I do need basic const. details, but sounds like these might be good to have as well. Thanks, J.R. |
