We think alike on some of the basics... i.e. "Keep It Simple, Stupid."
I finally found an "A" drawing. Just the outline, but with people's info, I can plot the peg holes easy enough. It was getting the angles to match that was throwing me.
You were suggested by another member as a source of info about wood hollow body lap steels.
What can you tell me? Are they worth the effort? I'm working on build #3, a 29.5 inch scale, 3 octive, 40" OAL Baritone lap steel. I've been thinking about a wood/metal or hollow body hybrid version of the Fouke baritone.
Also, I see "A" shape headstocks on yours. Do you have a dimensioned drawing? I'm going nuts trying to make them by the seat of my pants, and both have been a struggle. Maybe a source for an 'A' style route template?
