'Classic' flamenco guitars. . .

Does anyone know where I can get any information on the body shapes, dimensions , etc, of some of the 'classic' flamenco guitars, especially the older ones: ( Esteso, Santos Hernandez, Ramirez, etc.)

Anything published reviewing the specifications of these classic instruments?

Looking for some good reading material. . .

Get Roy Courtnall's book 'Making Master Guitars'. There's detailed info on a Santos Hernandez.

Detailed information on Esteso seems to be scarce. Any sources that people have would be appreciated.

Guild of American Luthiers sells a Barbero plan drawn by Brune.
