I was just given a Martin IR 0000/M size rim to build with, no top or back yet, and it looks to me like it might have "spread out" a little at the waist (I know it has happened to me over time too.) I was wondering if anyone has that dimension. The Martin website has the bout sizes, but now the waist. If it needs narrowing a bit I can pull it in a tad, it just looks a little chubby right now. Thanks!

Not sure, but i would put an OM shape beside it and keep the curves the same .. then you get what you get ...
