I have two olympics, a 1934 and a 1933. Joe Glaser is David Rawlings
uthier in Nashville, maybe he knows the exact measurments. He's
refretted and reset the neck on my 1934 and refretted my 1933. I dont
reaaly know the dimensions of a 1935, Mr. //Rawlings guitar is said to
a 1935 but that's never been verifiec with a serial number. It doesnt
have a celluliod headstock but it does have a masterbilt decal on the
headstock. It also has the three peice f-hole. My 1934 has the
celluloid headstock and the Masterbilt decal. Check out the picture of
David with my guitar next to his guitar. without taking one apart the
grauations of the archs would be difficult to measure. I;m located in
Indiana you can come and measure them of you want.
