Stew Mac Dan MacRostie 000 plan

[Imbler]

Have any of you built to Dan's 12 fret 000 plans? My next build will be an 000, and I'm searching for plans that are in the ballpark (so many are overbuilt).
thanks, Mike

I used the plan for this one. Most parts were from Martin's GMC. Has some abalone. All wood binding/purfling.

Did you happen to notice if the brace profiles on the plan matched the parts you got?
Thanks, Mike

Yes, the Martin top braces match the scallop locations. The main difference is a minor location change of the tone bars.

Of course the two lower back braces of the plan use the old style lower brace profile.

I sanded the top braces to 1/4" from 5/16" and eliminated the top plate and added some hybrid braces at the neck block.

Great, Jon - that is very helpful
Thanks much, Mike

If you google OM_acoustic_guitar_en.pdf the plans are for an OM that I think is the same size as a 000.
