Many lessons learned, I hope. Too many frets, did not take into consideration scale length therefore bridge is a little higher on body than I wanted. Also forgot to cut fret board to compensate for a bolt for nut so its 1/8" off. Could not save the original top so I used 3/32 ply. Great acoustic volume. Maple neck with purple heart fret board and lam on head.

Bridge location looks good to me, nice proportion of the body, and the "tears" from the drain cover on the sound hole look neat. The purple heart looks really great!
There will be countless "I should ah... could ah..." moments! That's why you can hardly wait to build the next one! finished 8 in the last 2 weeks while up north, ready to sit down and see how they sound now that I'm back home...

That looks lovely, and very distinctive.
