Congratulations, that looks like an AMAZING guitar, and one can see how much time and energy he put into it up to the last little detail. Impressive...
Looking forward to reading another of your interesting reviews

Understated but if you look more closely you will see the level of attention in the fine fit and finish and multiple purfling lines everywhere and the beautiful woods used. Very fetching indeed!

Are the shape and dimensions roughly equivalent to a ryan nightingale?

Nightingale specs (slightly bigger in most dimensions):

Extended 25.7" Scale Length
11.00” Upper Bout / 16.00” Lower Bout
Total Length: 41.75” / Length of Box: 20.50”
Depth at head block: 3.80" / Tail block: 4.80"
Standard Nut Width: 1.75”
String spacing at bridge: 2.25”

Here's a Legacy and Nightingale side-by-side ( I think the difference in scale length makes the Nightengale look even a little larger here than you'd think from the dimensions):
