Fair enough. There are plans of lutes available from various museums with instruments. The Hague Gemeentemuseum, for example, and Cité de la Musique in Paris, too, I believe. Robert Lundberg's book 'Historical Lute Construction' has basic plans of the Erlangen Series Lute Plans. The Guild of American Luthiers will send you these as full size blackline prints. It's a start.
