not sure how many of you have seen the below site. i find it very inspiring. check out some of the armadillo instruments!
i have only built a few electrics thus far, and an unfinished violin; for my 1st acoustic i think i want to build a 7 fret guitarron-type instrument, for simple open chord strumming and strong bass(think mexican nortena music):

Nice site, I'll check it out. Seems a bit similar to http://stringedinstrumentdatabase.110mb.com/, not sure if anyone has posted that here or not.
