Gibson Flying V Dimensions for Cad modeling?

I have been assigned to do a 3-d modeling project using Solidworks, and I have decided to model a Gibson Flying V. Does anyone know any website that has detailed dimensions of this guitar? I have searched around the net, but I haven’t really come up with what I need. Also I don’t really care which model it is.

I e-mailed Gibson and they were only able to give me really basic dimensions like overall length, width and depth. Worse case scenerio is to search around the instrument stores in my area so that maybe I can take measurements from a real one.

Going to a music store with a tape measure doesn’t sound like much trouble to me.

If it’s really too much work, just get a large picture like this:

Measure the critical dimensions in pixels, and use the generic specifications Gibson gave you to relate pixels to distance.
