Since I get so many good answers here here's another one for you's. What are the radius' for the back and top of a triple-0? I'm gonna get some radius dish from Bluescreek soon. What size for the back and what size for the top? I want to build one in the style of a Martin with a 25.34 scale and 12 fret model with slotted peghead. Does anyone know if the stew-mac plans are to Martin spec? I have found this the only site i'll get answers from on stuff like this that some people find simple. I am a member of all the other forums and feel This site is definitive the best one out there. |

Amen!! Ask John Hall at Blues Creek (and here). He worked at Martin. |

I am putting the finishing touches on a 000-14 and used a 15' back and 25' top. I think those are pretty traditional radii, and I don't see why they wouldn't work on a 000-12. |

HI First , Thanks for the kind words. I also must clear up something. I was trained at Martin but didn't work there. They used to allow luthier for thier repair program to spend a few weeks there and go back for more trainig when needed. i live 90 miles from them so I was there alot . Now for the technical top radius on all Martin tops is 28 foot radius Backs are Jumbo and dred 25 foot R 000 smaller 20 I personally use 28/24 hope this helps john hall Blues Creek Guitars |
