It's not a complete plan set, but I have a GA top and back design that I use for an intro shop class that you're welcome to use. It's pretty similar to an x14 though softer radii on the bends. Our process is quite a bit different than for a standard guitar (laser cut top/oval soundhole, ~simplified brace profiles, pocket neck joint, staked brace ends) but the shape and brace layout should be fine. With 4" sides and 0.110" thick Sitka top, 'main air' freq is about 96 Hz and 'main top' is 185 Hz, which gives a pretty balanced sound for our builds. Download here (Autocad 2004 dwg): http://home.sandiego.edu/~dmalicky/USD. ... ar.GA6.dwg Let me know if you need a different format; I can probably make a pdf at work. |

http://ultimate-guitar-online.com/guita ... plans.html Has GA plans. If you are going to get the molds or forms from Blues creek they dont match exactly so be prepared. I am in the process of building one now but have modified the bracing quite a bit and am using Blues creek profile as I purchased their mold and form. So I guess I am actually building a totally different guitar but I purchased the plans...

Yeah, if you could make PDF that would be a true blessing. Thanks man! david82282 wrote: It's not a complete plan set, but I have a GA top and back design that I use for an intro shop class that you're welcome to use. It's pretty similar to an x14 though softer radii on the bends.

Sure, here's the pdf (full scale): http://home.sandiego.edu/~dmalicky/USD. ... ar.GA6.pdf The back braces shown are for our 1/8" baltic birch ply backs (stiff). For a 0.090" solid mahogany back, I use 1/2"-9/16" tall spruce braces. All brace lengths would need to be longer to tuck them. Soundhole center is 6.17" below the top edge. X-brace center is 9.41" below top edge. The biggest difference to a Taylor GA is the waist (9.9" v 9.5"). Taylor's site says the lower bout is 16", but other reports say it's 15.75"; not sure what's up there. I can tweak the profile if you want. http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/foru ... p?t=139954 |
