Great! It's really coming along nicely. I think mine is next, as soon as he finishes with yours. I can't wait to get mine started.

A couple of others tweaks for mine... Mine will have the 13th fret on the neck/body joint, and the scale will be slightly longer (at 630 mm). As a result, the X-brace on the top will be shifted forward by about 14 mm. Martin's forward-shifted braces apparently allow for a more freely-moving top, which adds more bass to the tone. I figure that will not be a bad thing for a guitar of this size.

Thank you. Sorry for the delay. I know you must be champing at the bit.

I'm intrigued by your decision to extend the scale length. I toyed with the idea but decided against it. Look forward to hearing how it sounds.

No need to apologize for being "late." We're still on schedule given the timeline Lindsay gave me. [emoji846] Good things come to those who wait.

As for the scale length, the primary motivation was to match that of the guitars I already own. The shifting of the braces and the bridge is a side effect of the change in the scale length and the fret position.

Base coats and lacquer. We're almost there.

All finished. It was left for a few days for the string tension to settle before having a final set-up (action and neck relief).

Here are the final photos (the last one is for scale).
