My newest build. I am finding that replacing the tops of the boxes with a tonewood like german spruce makes a huge difference to the sound.

looks great, how thick is your soundboard? I'm just reputting a top on an old one of mine, which i like but too is quiet. i've gone to 2mm but am now feeling nervous about it......

Nice how you used the original top for a pick guard and raised it up to improve sound. All nice.
