I built a "parlour" guitar from the Ted Davis plan some years ago. It is a 1-18 which was the largest guitar Martin made way back when. I built it on a lark for a 2" x 4" contest at my woodworking club out of a carefully selected, 8' pine stud from Home Despot. Resawed the back, top and sides and had to add a little to the sides for width. Epoxied four hacksaw blades on edge into the neck to keep it straight and was able to use up to 20% of "other" woods, hence the blackwood fingerboard, bridge and headplate. Ended up sounding great and I play it a lot many years later! Had enough leftover wood to build a simple stand too.
