Anyone possibly have a source for a guitar template for this model? It is an LG size.

Tim,

I was hoping to find out more as well - posted a few weeks back, but no one has jumped in with anything yet.

And: SPECIFICATIONS: 14.25” wide, 19" long, 4.5" deep, 24.75” scale, 20 frets. Sunburst Finish."

edit: and this from om28.com: Product Description

A rare model in extra-fine condition, Gibson's first flattop cutaway. Essentially a higher-end version of the LG-2, it sports scalloped x-braces, pearloid trapazoidal fretboard inlays, spruce top, mohogany back & sides and a deep Florentine cutaway. We've gone through it extensively, reglueing braces and setting it up; it's now at least as good as new!

Low and behold I got an LG-1 in the shop today for some repair. I'm just going to make a template off this body to use. I took a commission to build a CF-100. Should be an interesting build. Thanks of the responses.

Tim,

Have you made any progress on the CF-100 style you were planning to build?

He decided to hold off (probably will cancel) as I am building him 3 electrics.
