just wanted to say my 2nd build, Leaf #2, is finally strung up and gettin' played. I spent a lot of time on this one, problem solving and mistake-masking, but I'm pretty happy with it. The neck is maple, fret board and other pieces are walnut. The small Padron box gives it a slightly banjo-ish sound on the high string. Like to mellow that down some. 

Here's a link to the album:

Thanks to everyone who contributed advice along the way.
