Guitar Kit for Single Cutaway Acoustic Electric?

[Robbie Collins]

Does anyone know of a kit for a single cutaway acoustic-electric similar to the Taylor 812ce?

If not, what about a good plan?

[Robbie Collins]

Hours of searching found no kits but I found a plan with a cutaway option.

Ckeck out this site Ipomoea acoustic guitars .I built one of these

guitar's for a customer and he got the plans off him for it.  even better if you think you would like to build one of these guitars  the customer I built the one for has two full size plans for it maybe he would sell you a set Bill...............

Bill...the Ipomoea is certainly a handsome guitar and coming from Mottola I'm sure it's a quality plan. My problem is my friend is very conservative about guitars. He thinks the D-28 is the be all-end all of acoustic guitar design. A modern hole placement would evoke a lifted eyebrow I'm sure.

Hi Robbie-- check www.lmii.com , and I believe they may have a kit that might work for you--

Peace, Donald

Don...I looked at LMII before posting the question and even checked out the Kit Wizard to see if a cutaway was an option. I admit I was a bit confused by the kit but didn't see a cutaway option.  After your suggestion I went back and send LMII an email asking about this possibility. Thanks.

Bill,

I went looking for my own edification.  There's nothing on that site that EVEN resembles a Taylor GC design.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

Thx,

Paul

Well Paul I never realized he wanted to make that exact Taylor 812ce I guess my problem has been if I wanted to build a guitar like someone has I would just take a patern of the Insturment and a few measurments and go a head and build it.  I guess I made a mistake trying to help out this time .Some people just have to have a drawing for every thing they go to do I guess. Sorrry if I led anyone a stray. Bill.............

No sweat Bill. 

I am not a builder, and I was only curious.  btw: the guitars on that site are really gorgeous and innovative.  THANKS for the link :)  It's a nice site.

Also, it's only my inference that he wanted to clone the Taylor.  It could be MY mistake. No foul, man.

The rest of your advice, I think, is right on :)

Have a good 'un, buddy.

[Robbie Collins]

Thanks everyone! Not to worry, Bill...I'm only looking for something in the ballpark and I appreciate your contribution.

A friend asked if I could build him an electric-acoustic. Being busy building out a new shop I though a kit would be the way to go. He's a small person and so the smaller bodied Taylor seemed a good place to start.

These are the closest match of dimensions I know of.

OLF Medium Jumbo Plans

OLF Small Jumbo Plans (reminds me of the George Carlin's bit about Jumbo Shrimp)

A fair amount of tweaking info can be found at the OLF for those plans.  They have been very popular,

Thanks, Mark. I didn't think to look at the SM plans.
