I've never seen plans for such an instrument. What sort of disassembly photos would you like?

Thanks Brad
I can see why Gibson went to a solid body after the war.. I wonder how much that changed the sound?

It absolutely changed the sound. The chambers in the body resonate when not plugged in.
Also a BIG change happened when the first Alnico pickups were used in ca.'41. The ES300 style version installed at an angle. I can't choose between them, they are both valid. The old style has openness and clarity, maybe even sharpness, the modern sound of the alnico is a little softer in comparison, a little warmer and comfortable. They both inspire and that's what makes us want to play.
