Okay, we are trying to build a guitar but need two critical dimensions. Does anyone know the final dimension for the OLF SJ at the neck block and tail block?

I guess we would have to deduct the thickness of the top and back plates from those dimensions? Depends on how the plan reads. We are trying to build it as the plan shows so when we get to sliding it in a custom case it will fit. TIA

Okay, I have the plan and am measuring 5 7/8" from the guitar at the neck block to the center of the soundhole. Is that correct?

Second, I need to know what the scale length is so I can position the bridgeplate accurately. I'm measuring 11 15/16" from the guitar at the neck block to the center of the bridgepin holes. I'm getting about 11 1/2" to from the guitar at the neckblock to the center of the center of the saddle.

I'm off to check the x-angle.

you are 3" from the bottom of the soundhole to the top of the bridge plate, and the plate itself is 2"

Thanks Brock. I found the scale finally, it was right there in the title on page two. Okay, that should be enough info to get going.

sorry guys I am taking a vacation day Bruce I only sent you thetop because the form has all rights to the plans, not me. the drawing is 100% full scale. I had assuned that Lace had rough profiled toe sides as per the drawings. but I guess not.
