Loving watching this build thread! Looks like a fantastic guitar coming your way!

Thank you! I hope so...time will tell.
The final touch on the top bracing prior to tuning the top...the X-cap. This helps ensure the integrity of the X junction. The piece under the go bar is a caul. The cap itself is a smaller piece of spruce
Prebent kerfing helps reduce breakage during glue up.
Prebending the body binding. This is curly mahogany.

You're longing to be
But it all comes out on the inside
Eventually
