Official Luthiers Forum!

I don't have a Martin plan for a 00 body but I do have the Grellier (sp?) plan. Does anyone know the back brace spacing on a Martin 00 body? I'll use the Gellier spacing if I can't find out the Martin spacing but I would prefer to use the Martin spacing.

I sure appreciate the help I've recieved here. Seems I always asking/receiving and giving little........but such is life when you have little experience.

Thanks!

Todd or John should be around shortly to help with this. Might want to change the title to Martin 00 back brace spacing?

12 or 14-fret?

Darryl, I've just measured the back brace spacing on my 1963 14 fret Martin OO-18. The spacing from the neck end is 3 3/4", 7", 10 1/2" and 14 1/4" to the centre of each brace.
My guess, is that these will vary over the years and on individual guitars, especially the further back you go.

Oops, almost forgot........to answer your question Johnathan, this is a 14 fret body.
