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.
