If you take a look at my website you will see a page heading:
Lyon Healy Circa 1900s Parlor Plan Download.
There is a free downloadable plan available in a small pdf file format
www.hamleyfineguitars.com
This guitar is a restoration project and the top was damaged beyond repair. As a new top will be fitted once the old one was removed I was able to take some measurements inside the box. I spent considerable time carefully taking dimensions and drew up a hand written plan of the guitar. As most of you know it is not very often you get the opportunity to get close up and personal with such an old instrument like this one so I decided to create a plan of it. A friend and forum member Steve here at the anzlf used my hand written drawing and created a full size to scale plan using CAD. I thank him very much for his time an effort.
Please feel free to download the plan as I have gained so much great advice and information from this forum since I started guitar building in 2005 and it is good to be able to contribute a bit back to our guitar building community.
The plan is to scale but there may be some dimensions that are not perfect as there were a few specs that had to be estimated.
If you have any comments or questions please contact me here or on my website.
Enjoy
Cheers
Alan
