Does anyone know the dimensions of a 00 - 14 fret guitar based on the Martin design? I can't find the width of the waist, or upper bout. Thanks in advance.

I got this somewhere a few years ago, It gives dimensions from a centerline for waist and bouts.
I hope it helps

These measurements are taken from my 1963 OO-18:

UB, 277mm - 10 15/16"
Waist, 238mm - 9"
LB, 363mm - 14 1/4"
BL, 475MM -18 5/8"
head, 87mm - 3 5/16"
tail, 104mm - 4 1/8"

I have measured a few others, and though in the same ballpark, they do vary a bit, especially with the pre1969 guitars, but those are the ones you want.
