Martin Guitar Kit – Luthiers 28′ Radius Contoured Dish/disk With Matching Guage
Simply the best contour dish/disk value in the industry!! KMG www.kennethmichaelguitars.com is now offering our “Pro's Preferred”© precision 24” X 24” CNC machined MDF radius dishes. This item is the popular 28’ radius. We properly machine our dishes in a concentric circle pattern at .002” resolution. There is no way the traditional/hobby method of balance beam cutting with a router can come close to matching CNC tolerances. Consequently, with our dishes, 28’ radius braces will match the 28’ radius dish!! Similar dishes without the contour template, from the Ohio based supplier and others are over $90 note that some are only 5/8" thick!! Also note that the “Pro's Preferred”© is machined to a full 23-1/2" diameter.
The dish is left in the square shape to allow the user more options relative to fastening and stabilizing the dish in a go-bar clamp etc. Don't get ripped off, all dishes --- no matter what they are made from will have a tendency to warp, plywood being the worst, there is no magic special material. Routing a fancy pattern on the back of a dish can leave areas that are paper thin and only serves to diminish durablity and quality. We recommend screwing the dish to an additional piece of MDF. The machining operation leaves the surface with a velvet like texture. We also recommend a few coats of a solvent based finish.
Also included in this package is the matching 28’ radius 22” concave/convex contour template.
If you need a different radius 12' 15' 20' 25' 28' 35' 40' 52' (True Martin) 65' (R Taylor signature) please contact us

We are delighted to announce that we have
completed beta testing the Acoustic Guitar
Construction Forum. This is likely to become the best
resource on the Internet for guitar makers at all
levels. Unlike the social style guitar forums that
typically have many scattered, sometimes unrelated
topics, the AGC forum is focused on helping kit and
scratch builders construct the finest guitar within
their means. We invite you to stop by and register
to meet some of the most talented amateur and
professional guitar makers around.
