Hi Dave
It is a nice looking size and shape. How do the dimensions compare with the standard OM?
Is it your own design or are you building off an available plan?

cheers
Mark

thanks Mark, it's just a bit larger than a Martin om.
The dimensions are...
lower- 15 and 1/4 "
waist- 9 and 3/4"
upper- 11 and 1/8"
body length- 19 and 7/8"
I got the idea from the Dana Bourgeois JOM model. My shape and cutaway are slightly different but I did ask him permission to use the shape.
There are no plans out there that I know of.

Nice, I thought the cut away looked familiar, Bougeois' being one of the few shapes I find appealing. Gorgeous lookin guit.
