I don't have access to a Gibson Flying V right now but here are the dimensions I've been able to gather. I'm also making one.
Most of my measurements are from a 1958 Korina.
NECK:
Headstock
7" tip to nut
Headstock angle
17 degrees
Scale length
24.75"
Fretboard length
17.8" from nut to 22nd fret. board should be ~18"
Fretboard Width
1 11/16" at nut
2 1/4" at 22nd fret
BODY:
Centerline Length
11 1/4" from the crotch of the V to the point where the upper curves end
Width of body at shoulders (by neck).. where the curves turn into the outside strait length of the wings.
4 25/32"
Curve radius for wings and crotch
1" radius (they follow contour of a 2" diameter circle)
Outside Length of wings
19" flat.. from the start of the curves
Height of wing, from centerline to the topmost or bottom most point of wings.
8 11/32"
thickness of body
1 3/4" (I'd verify this if I were you)
Blueprints are available online if you look around. There is a vendor on Amazon but they don't specify whether they're based off the '58 Korina or later models.
There are also several vendors who sell templates.
