Those braces look pretty big, but the top is pretty thin.

Thanks Roger,
Yea, i'm not massively concerned about the flat top, it was my thought to do that way and thats also what the plans said. i'm a bit uncertain about how exactly i'm going to put my neck angle in, and a radiusssed top would make that even more confusing.
I agree, the braces are all big, but thats because they are all oversized vs how big they would be at the biggest point so they would all be able to be glued at the same time. they are 8mm wide for the X and longer braces and 6.5 on the 4 small outer ones and right now they are all 18mm high, but they will all be cut down A LOT to get them to the dimensions and shapes on the plans i have.
in case you're interested, the soundboard is at 2.8mm, i don't plan on taking much more if any off that other than whatever finish sanding does.
