Here's a final shot of the bracing on the 000. It is apparent to me that most of you readers seem to prefer pretty pictures of the outside of the guitar over the more technical pics I favor. I favor them because IMO this is where the differences between the the actual quality of the guitars we love is easiest to see. Many of my "secrets" are bared in the photo in this post, and it is my fantasy that a few of you who are interested in either making better guitars, or having them (hopefully), will get a sense of what you are looking at.
I think this is a better shot that many previous attempts, and that is because once again I used a tripod, aperture priority, and made the center of the shot the most in focus, as well as lighting so that the braces are in shadow relief. The camera is snapshot smart, but doesn't really mind-read.
