Tenshinage Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi does anyone here have or know where I can obtain plans for a L-200? Even a template will do. Or anyone that owns one that might be prepared to draw round it so I can at least make a template up myself. I want to build one for my lady and having no luck finding plans at all.

Tenshinage Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Having looked a bit further it seems the L-200 is only slightly smaller than a j-200 so might not be quite what I'm looking for. I'm basicly after the j-200 shape or near as dam it but a bit smaller. It seems there is only an inch in it and the hassle of making templates up for such a small amount I might as well build the j-200. I've looked at others of simular shape the j-165 may be a better choice as it's a shorter scale which she will prefer. I didn't realise the L-200 was 25.5 scale length. Basicly I'm after a shrunk down version of the j-200 preferably 24.75 in scale. There seems to be a number of models that shape but I'm having trouble finding messuments where the body is concerned. Websites I've seen don't seem to give them in the specs least not what I've seen. But any help or suggestions would be great. I play a copy of a Gibson 1934 jumbo which I build out of koa but she would like me to build something different for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Could you post a photo of the guitar you are talking about? @Nick - Here's the L-200 - aka Emmy Lou Harris. It's been discussed here before a couple times. @Tenshinage - how about the 165 measurements, but with the L-200 body depth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshinage Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 That could work is it significantly smaller? It would be ideal if so as a depth adjustment is as easy as it gets. I'll have no adjustment in braces etc. So the next question would be does anyone know where I can get plans for a 165? Failing that I guess I might be able to find a shop with one that's kind enough to let me come in and take some measurements and make a template Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshinage Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 After further digging it seems the 165 isn't as deep as the L200. It's also smaller so would be a better choice for her. But can't find plans anywhere. Also there seems to be conflicting information out there on scale length some sites say the 165 is 24.75 and others say it's 25.5. Any light on this from someone here that may own one I'd be most grateful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
