Longhorn Dimensions

Does anybody have a pdf dimensional drawing of a Danelectro Longhorn? I'm wanting to build a medium scale based on the design and it would be easier if I had a proper starting point.

I don't have a pdf of my late '60s Coral (Dano) hollow-body longhorn and don't know how closely it conforms to a solid-body Dano but it's symmetric so it's pretty easy to do a gridded drawing.

Dimensions are: top of horn to butt = 17.5" / widest lower bout = 15" / waist = 10-7/8" / top of neck pocket ledge to butt = 15.5" / horns = 6" from tip to bottom of U curve / horn width tip-to-tip = 12-1/4"

Hollow-body depth (2" at edges) will most likely not conform to a solid body longhorn. Hope this can be of some help.
