Waldron music used to sell these, they have closed the business.
Is there another source for acrylic layout forms for specific size acoustics?
Those lasers cut wooden templates are of limited use for layout because I can't see through them.

It's too bad Waldron (had to?) quit, their templates that I have are quite nice.

There is an Australian company selling these but I imagine shipping to the US would be a killer.

@bcombs510, I’m building Martin style dreadnaughts, from paper patterns and would likely build 000 and OM.

@wbergman, they don’t have to be colored but that’s my preference. The scribed lines pop like neon and are easier to see especially when on a spruce top.

@Mike Omelia, thanks I will check him out.
