I just discovered this site- piles of vintage US instruments, with specs and photos.
You could probably 'Photoshop' from the pics to a reasonable template in some cases.
Homepage of site:
http://www.usd.edu/smm/
Plucked string instruments:
http://www.usd.edu/smm/collect.html#plucked
Directory if you like searching for yourself:
http://www.usd.edu/smm/PluckedStrings/Guitars/

Enjoy (and send me those templates... )

John

Thanks, good reference! The pics do look nice and straight on like a reasonable template could be made from the pics.

Ah, another reason not to get the tractor ready for mowing! Did I say that?
