I played a Samick or some other brand a while ago that was a Medium Jumbo... Jumbo Shape but smaller... definatelly larger than a small jumbo. The owner told me it was modeled after some famous name brand but I can recall what it was. Martin? Guild? I'm not sure.

I bet ya, it's 16" at the lower, between an SJ and J-200.

You could just modify the SJ template, make it more the size of a Grand AuditoriumRod True39064.1110648148

Many a jumbo is 16 period. The martin jumbo is 16. That picture looks more like a 000 than the 0000 or jumbo.
The Gibson J185 may be more to what you are looking for. The Jumbo in fact has its origins in the arch top from the 30's.
Luthiers took the tops off the martin archtop and relaced it with the flat top for the guitar we now call the jumbo.

Michael,
I have a layout template I made of the Taylor Grand Auditorium.
It has 16" lower bout. It's basically the same size as a dred but with a tighter
waist, I believe 9-3/4".

I am not surching. I was offering a shape profile of a jumbo larger than an SJ and smaller than a J-200 with roughly the basic shape of the J-200 (big round curves) I have the shape that I am developing for a client. It is based on the Traugott jumbo but 1/4" smaller LB.

But thanks anyway
