Anyone know what the diameter is/was, or what have you used for this? |

I have built L-00, L2 & Nick Lucas, and used 4" for all. Glenn |

Which body? The late ones with the 14 3/4" lower bout are all 4". The earlier ones (round bottom, 13 1/2" lower bout) are smaller. The one I measured was 3 7/16". Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk |

Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk It's the smaller one with the round bottom. Thanks for that. Just checking, I used 90 mm before (3.543) and was happy the way it turned out. I'm using the Kenneth Michael Guitars templates (I bought a dozen mixed Martin/Gibson/Lowden) and he just seems to use 4" for most of them. Thanks to all who replied. |
