The book "Making Master Guitars" by Roy Courtnall might help you. One of the spanish makers detailed there used M&T. The book has diagrams & plans. CrowDuck |

CrowDuck[/QUOTE] The only luthier in Courtnall's book who uses an M and T neck joint is Ignacio Fleta. Courtnall makes mention of Fleta's experience as a violin maker influencing his guitar construction methods. Cheers Martin |

Martin, Yeah, Fleta, that's the one, only I think he worked with a brother. I think Courtnal offers full sized plans too. CrowDuck |
