Anyone knows where I can get Kalamazoo KG11 blueprint/tracing?

Thanks

There isn't one, no one has ever drawn up plans. For inspiration you might check-out the Collings Waterloo line of guitars they make one inspired by the KG-11.

Also Gibson L-OOs are what the KG-11 is based on originally as a no frills version for further inspiration.

Thanks Hesh,
I think the L-00 is x braced and also the KG -11 has a smaller body compared to L-00
will keep on searching. a rough tracing will also do the work.

You are very welcome. Some L-OOs were ladder braced the earlier ones and the later ones were X braced so this model was available as the bracing transitioned at Gibson.

Mark's post about Dan and the Iris model is a great idea to contact Dan.
