Ergonomically, I'll go as well with the wedge and both bevels. I want to make that big guitar as easy to play as possible. Looking forward to get your feedback once you receive your instrument (expected date?). I thought about fan fret as well as I play mostly in open tunings - is it something you've considered?
Regarding woods, I've been extremely impressed by Tom's #15 model (Swiss, Malaysian Blackwood), which was played by Jonny Mosco ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCV0f2d2Wbw) and I'm tempted to go that route.
I'll definitely opt for the Swiss spruce top, but B&S is still up for debate. But likely in the RW family.
Keep these pictures coming, and thanks for these precious information!
Cheers,

Likewise - there is not a single day passing where I don't think about this build! This is my second commission - the other being my Kostal MDC. And my first baritone commission (having lusted after a custom baritone for over a decade now). So I'm similarly super excited. Particularly as the build is progressing fast now (I'm a behind on pics and posting here - but will try to catch up!).
Sounds like yours'll be a fantastic L and along very similar lines to this one - save for the scale lengths.
This one's going to be multi-scale, given the range of tunings its going to have to handle. More details on that to follow...
