In regards to getting the top and back with a radius, I'm finding this the hardest part so far. I can't justify buying a radius dish as I will have to import it. I got some good tips for a board member here. I am somewhat anxious about bracing my first guitar. I put so much effort and time into doing my rosette I would be totally gutted if I ruin the top with bad bracing.
If you go to my build thread which started off as an advice thread I got A LOT of useful information which I'm sure will also apply to your build.

I plan on adding a few new pictures of my rough drawn out bracing plan next for people to look at and advise on which again, the comments made will be of great use.
All I can say is, take your time. I'm not sure how you like to work, but personally, I pick one job and work at it until I am happy. Some may do a few hours here and there on different parts of the build. I can't do this as for one, it will confuse me and two, I am buying parts & tools as I go along.
The help from people on this board and the
