Does anyone have templates or plans for a Danelectro?

[JDawg0427]

I've been GASsing for a Danelectro DC59 style guitar as of late, and decided I wanted to build my own. When I looked online, I realized that there are very few, if any, templates for the DC59. Does anyone know where I can get either a template or 1:1 plans for building one of these masonite beasts?

Edit: I forgot to add that I need the dimensions for the wood frame sections as well

A '59 plan is in here and looks pretty nice :

I used the plan in the link Marty provided above to build a couple DC copies years ago. It's probably your best bet.

You should be able to "wing" that with a bit of common sense. Those dims are really not that critical.

It wouldn't hurt to have a wooden beam going from neck to bridge but you have to hassle with pickups and depending on which type you use, that could impact that idea.

I don’t think the interior dimensions matter.
It doesn’t look like Danelectro worries much about it.
- pic was found in another thread here.

I used the plan in the link above, took it to staples and got them to print it at 100% scale.
Glued it to a piece of plywood and sanded to the line.
I have made a couple of bodies with it.
