Re: Scarf joint under fingerboard or under headplate?
In the drawing, what looks like a scarf joint is actually the cavity in the headstock for truss rod access. I never really considered it until after I posted, but perhaps they just bandsawed it out of one piece. I think I'm going to go with the scarf joint located in the actual headstock, as I have ...

Want to build a 1934 Martin 0-17. Can't find plans or molds.
I really want to build an all mahogany 1934 style Martin 0-17 but can't find any plans, templates, or molds. From what I understand, this was their standard size guitar before they started adding all the "0's" and increasing the size. Did this size guitar just disappear, or did they rename...
