I've asked a few members in PMs, but I'm trying to locate "authentic" plans for a Weissenborn. I can only find two sets on the Internet, but I'm impressed with neither. If you know of someone who has plans, let me know. Thanks.

	Gitman44 says: 4/27/2011 6:33:44 PM The MIMF site offers Weissenborn Style 2 plans too: mimf.com/ Not sure if this is the other source that you've found. You may want to email Tony Francis in New Zealand (tony@tonyfrancisinstruments.com). He is currently building the most accurate Weissenborn reproductions of any luthier today. He may be able to provide a source for plans. Check out his website blog: tonyfrancisinstruments.blogspot.com/. To own one of his guitars, especially a Style 4, is definitely on my bucket list... Good luck. Andy
