It looks a treat - Im really interested to hear how you think the X-bracing on the sides has affected the sound of the instrument - how did it sound initially, as it opened up, now etc?
Cheers

Nice guitar! I especially like the moon and your fingerboard position markers.

Fantastic instrument J!!! Beautiful detail inside and out!

I really like your florentine cutaway... Real sharp! (literaly, figuratively, meta-physically, ...) I also like your headstock design... Very cool...

Keep up the good work!

Beautiful work J.Brown! (and thanks for the go bar deck document very nicely done as well).

I love the sound port, cutaway, headstock and the interior photographs.

When I was looking at the pic from top looking into the sound hole at first I thought I saw 1/2 moon inlay on the inside of the back then I realized it must be the sunlight coming through the sound port. Then I looked at the whole picture and noticed the direct sun light appears to be coming in from the top right corner of the pic and the soundport is on the left and facing away from the sun.... (I'm a little too analytical most days).

So now I am guessing it is just ambient light coming in through the sound port?

I like the headstock. I am looking at some similiar ideas with my AGB project as I have always liked the Tobias and Jerry Drozd electric bass guitar headstocks which have a similiar cut out design in the headstock but I want some original as well.

Good work,

Scott
