Furtive 00-12 Fret Grand Concert plans/template Dear esteemed rabble, Thanks to a brilliant community wood supplier, who packages his wood better than anyone I’ve ever imagined, I have a sweet collection of narrow walnut just begging to be plucked. Enter the search for a body plan/template of a 00-12 Fret Grand Concert. No dice. LMI has a template for a 00-14 fret but to my rather inexperienced eye the bodies do look a wee bit different (martin’s site as reference). In an ideal situation I would find an acrylic half template (i.e. LMI) that I could use to make a mould, but if I could find even a rough tracing I would be so happy I could just dance. Can anyone help? Cheers, Jeremy |

Jeremy, I own a Martin 12-fret 00. The old, elongated (original) shape. If you would like, I could trace it for you and get the pertinent measurements. Not acrylic, but you could transfer it to acrylic. If this would work, lemme know. Steve |

Thanks for the quick reply everyone. MichaelP - Sorry for the contradiction in body styles, I got the name right off of Martin’s site http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/choosing/guitars.php?p=z &g=a&m=00-45S%201902 Steve – If you could do that I would really appreciate it (read: forever indebted to you). I also noticed that guitarjigs.com has a 00 12 fret mold available but I also really need to eat this month and my rent is already late. Cheers all, Jeremy |

Wow I have never seen a OO body referred to as a Grand concert and I have been to Martins sight hundreds of times. guess I just missed it. I think of a GC as slightly larger than a OM. Shows you what I said a couple weeks ago about definitions being different form one maker to the next. I did not take offence sorry if I came over that way. |

michael i think you may have a grand auditorium in mind. taylor's gc is in the same ballpark size as a oo, but martins ga, or m model, like taylors ga is a bit bigger than the om |
