I think they are top secret. So your best bet is to get your hands on a guitar and copy it.

Lester's flamencos are based on a Torres design. There are Torres classical plans available. You could get one of these and just do some slight modifications to make it more suitable for a flamenco.

Yes. Where as Conde guitars are designed after some top secret plans were found in the late 40's after a UFO crash landed. Harder to find.

you could send an email to Ottmar Liebert, LOL. he has two devoes and REALLY LOVES TO TAKE PICTURES. He might be willing to try and get some plans for you, or at least, decent pics you could trace and enlarge.

Assuming you ever do get pics of the bracing, I can help you adjust the scale, if he gives you a measurement. and then print oversize black and white blueprints =)

Your right. I built my "Conde" off those plans that were found clutched in one of the hands of a dying alien from the UFO that crashed in Roswell, NM. He managed to utter to word "Ole" as they were pulled from his clutched hand.
