Can anyone give me some more info on that plan/template. I'm actually more interested in the bracing and design specs than the actual body shape. Does anybody have it and maybe give it a review? Also is it still available or will it become available again?
Thanks, Colby

Hey Colby.
I have this plan I bought from Ken. I don't know what excactly you are looking for, but here is a picture of a guitar I made from it. BTW: it is a great sounding guitar.

Looks Nice! Did you follow the bracing dimensions pretty exactly? Or is some of that your own style? Also if anybody knows if this p[lan will become available again please let me know.

The guitar is a OM style. I followed the plan, maybe some little alterations where needed. But I don't recall that for sure.

Re: the Irish Jumbo (similar to lowden) guitar plan
I might would be interested. Does it have all the info for exact bracing? like the thickness of the braces, the tapers, the end thickness. I don't do very well when trying to "voice" my guitars. I need a plan that I can follow exactly that will yield a killer sounding guitar. I am less than impressed with some of the ones I've made. Granted I am also a very picky player and very easily dissatisfied. ha
