That makes sense now knowing how thick the top. I was debating on the Spanish heel for the guitar I am building right now. I did one for the previous nylon I made, decided to go for a dovetail just because I have not done one yet. The guitar is the same size as a Martin 5 body made out of pine. Why? I had a quartered board with minimal late wood and at the widest it has three grain lines per inch. Curiosity got the better of me.
Don't want to add another post but wanted to thank Bruce again. Used Titebond rather than HHG to glue in the tentalones for the top as he used for his daughter's guitar. I did not have any HHG made up and decided to give it a try, seems fine.
