Hi guys,
A friend has asked if I can make her a guitarra Portuguese. I haven't been able to find plans online. Anyone know where I could find plans for such a beast?
Cheers,
Shane

Thanks Mike, I've managed to find a couple of images like the one you posted. I think I have just about enough to figure it out. Also have a lead on the tuners.

Cheers,

Shane

I've been looking for plans myself too. If anyone finds some please let me know.
Next time I go to Portugal I'll look around for some plans. Portuguese Guitars are awesome instruments!

Don't they also make mandolins? I'd like to see the plans for one of those.
