Re: polka dot v guitar build
Check the archives at tk or ask Anthony (ironface) for help... years ago someone posted blueprints on tk for the concord and the pdv and there were a number of pics such as what you are asking for from when the Jackal guitars were being built as well as Perry Ormsby's guitars, so I'd contact them here.

Re: polka dot v guitar build
Hmm... Chances are you might not like it if it's built to the original specs
But anyway...
I remember reading this few years ago,
about a guy in Finland that had a PDV replica
built for him by a Finnish luthier
Checkout http://come.to/randall.rhoads and scroll
down to the 'My equipment section' to see info
on how he did it use that and change it to your own liking

Re: polka dot v guitar build
Personally, I'd copy a standard Gibson V, change the headstock and inlays, relocate the jack and switch to the upper wing and rear load it... Gibson V's play so well that copying them with a few alterations would make a great tribute to the Polka Dot V of Randy's.
That said, I hope yours works out well for you.

modifications are close to impossible!

What I'm saying is to use the Gibson as the template...

It's what Sandoval did so by going that route,
you'd be pretty damn close to the original

Re: polka dot v guitar build
I'm pretty sure it was a mighty might v body and the infamous 21 fret danelectro neck.
If its not a 21 fret dano neck or a fender term it's not arhoads pdv IMO.
