Saz?

I have the need to build a saz. Acoustic or electric, no matter. Does anyone have any construction tips. I have run thru all the youtube examples.
Is there any neck reinforcement? Scale info. Anyone?

Some years ago there was an issue of American Lutherie with an article about the saz and baglama, and I think a drawing. Check with them for a plan, I think they have one.

I think you're probably thinking about the Tambour plan/article from American Lutherie. It is Plan #69 which you can find at
http://www.luth.org/plans/instrument_plans.html#plan69. The article was in AL #120 -

I found this article really interesting. Has scale, neck length for the whole family of saz instruments, the tuning, and something on the fret spacing. It is just intonated, the octave is at the 15th fret.
