Acoustic Guitar Headpiece:
Acoustic Guitar Headpieces are far less detailed than their Classical Guitar cousins – unless of coarse you plan on building a Slotted Acoustic Guitar Headpiece, as shown in the illustration above.

This is an excerpt from the peg-head drawing from our Martin 000-28vs Guitar Plan that will be coming out shortly. This headpiece is not only slotted it also has the “V” neck joint, made famous by Martin in their pre-war guitars.

More typically, the Acoustic Guitar has quite a simple headstock arrangement.

In the 1930’s C.F. Martin rose to the top as the leader in steel string acoustic guitars.

000 Grand Concert or Parlor Guitar:
These Guitar Building Plans are for a 000 size or otherwise known as a Parlor or Concert Acoustic Guitar. It makes an ideal older child guitar and young teen guitar as the smaller size is easier for them to get a good grasp on the guitar.

Of course there are dozens of small companies that make guitars that some might even consider better than Martin. Facts are that most of those guitars are still copies of the Martin design, and whether or not they are better than the original manufacturers version is pure preference and speculation.

Dreadnought Guitar:
The Dreadnought Guitar Building plans are patterned after the Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar popularized by the C.F.Martin company in the 1930’s. It is the standard in Bluegrass music, but is used universally in rock, country, folk and much more. It is a big-voiced guitar with a lot of volume potential, depending the the selection of the tonewoods. You can give it warm tones with walnut and maple back and side sets and louder and brighter sounds with Koa and Rosewood. This plan has a 14 fret neck to the body and 25.4″(645.2mm) scale.
