These are dimensions reported in the book A Collection of Fine Spanish Guitars from Torres to the Present by Sheldon Urlik. I selected a handful from many in the book. If there are specific makers you are interested in, please let me know. There are also more dimensions available but I have listed the basics. BL=body length UB=upper bout LB=lower bout WD=waist depth numbers in millimeters Antonio Torres, 1889 BL 481 UB 274 LB 355 WD 83 Santos Hernandez, 1923 BL 485 UB 280 LB 366 WD 95 Hermann Hauser I, 1934 BL 486 UB 280 LB 367 WD 97 Jose Ramirez III, 1960 BL 494 UB 284 LB 371 WD 102 Ignacio Fleta, 1960 BL 495 UB 289 LB 372 WD 98 Robert Bouchet, 1960 BL 480 UB 278 LB 364 WD 93 Daniel Friederich, 1969 BL 488 UB 280 LB 368 WD 94 Miguel Rodriguez, Jr., 1976 BL 495 UB 282 LB 368 WD 106 Jose Romanillos, 1980 BL 482 UB 273 LB 359 WD 90 John Gilbert, 1980 BL 490 UB 282 LB 370 WD 97 Gary Lee, 2005 BL 492 UB 284 LB 366 WD 100 Personally, I'm smitten with the Rodriguez pattern, but also build slightly smaller guitars in the style of those from Granada, Spain (more like the size of a Bouchet). |
