Today I expect to have the back on before bedtime. Here's a glimpse of the inside before I add the kerfed linings that will facilitate the back's attachment:

Unless someone cares deeply, I will probably bind with Pernambuco an my normal purfling scheme.

I bound the 2nd JZ-16 yesterday, and today I created the release and scraped it and then sanded the plates to 180:

It's been a few years . . . 25(?) . . . since I have hand cut a dovetail in a guitar, but I have been doing it on all the fiddles I've built, so it sounded like my idea of fun, potentially.
This was a bit uncomfortable:  But I got into the swing:  From here I can land this thing:

I'm absolutely loving the vibe on this one. Reminds me of Corrado Giacomel.

I moved the JZ into finish today.
Just the first sealer on the back, but for the first time it is easy to see the character of this cherry:

In another life, I would LOVE to be able to do what you do !
I've always wondered, is there ever a moment, as your putting on the strings that you wounder, " Will this one sound good ? " with some trepidation ? All the hours put in the thing, I would suspect some concern somewhere along the way. Or, are those days long gone with your first few guitars ?

I am blessed or cursed with looking at the results a little differently than Good/Bad. I virtually always Love my guitars, and in the spirit of love I find them acceptable though not flawless. Not unlike parenting, the younger children benefit from the experience of raising the older children (ideally). Stringing a guitar is invariably an exciting time full of promise, rarely if ever disappointing, and from there it just gets better.

Also, love that cherry back and sweet cutaway. Wish I could play it! I don't know that I've ever played an acoustic archtop with a cherry back, or with a mahogany neck. I'm looking forward to your loving evaluation of the finished instrument.

Buffed her out today and glued the neck to the body:
 The cherry looks delicious to me:
