Default Martin Blueprints

Hello everybody, I am new to guitar building and I am trying to find blueprints for a martin D-28. I tried looking for one on amazon or ebay but the reviews said they werent authentic dimensions which turned me off. I also saw someone say that John from blues creek guitars makes a good schematic but i didn't see one on his website. If anyone knows where I can buy one or put me in the right direction I would be thankful.

John, Blues Creek. Call him at the number on his site. He’s awesome.

plans from Georgia Luthiers Supply are good, print full scale 1:1
This means they are drawn to scale and accurate to build to.
i used the dread plans.

In addition to selling plans and tools, he also teaches workshops and does warranty work for Martin IIRC. I would DEFINITELY give him a call.

for what it's worth, in this instance it's a mechanical drawing.
I find that doing an image search can get you better results.

Google “Guitar Makers Connection”. It is run by Martin and they sell parts from the factory. They will put together a kit based on your requests.

The McRoste plan from Stew Mac is fairly accurate
