HemeolaMan -> Barbero plans, the GAL, and what a hassle (Jan. 20 2010 12:08:14)
|
I recently bought the plans for a M.Barbero '51 blanca (carlos montoya, sabicas etc). These were drawn by Bruné so I know that the originals are dead on balls accurate. for the plans he used a modified paint thickness gauge and i know it resolves down to .01 mm for thickness (more accurate than a hacklinger).

when the plans arrived I thought the guitar looked a little small. I measured the GAL scale at the top of the page and it was correct, only problem was, the scale bruné drew on the plan wasn't. It appeared to be 1/8" of an inch off. this is a problem. I know Bruné drew the plans correctly. I just got sold a plan that isn't to scale.
Having worked for Kinko's/Fedex Office for 3 years, being a photoshop and adobe products pro and graphic designer I know how to print, and size and do all that stuff correctly.
Here's the question, Have any of you ever had to deal with this? Is this 1/8" shrinkage still within acceptable tolerances to build by? will it throw off everything?
