Excellent looking build! I noticed a few problems that I feel I should point out in the interest of building a pre-war "cannon".
You used reversed kerfed linings and Martin uses triangular linings, so therefore, this guitar can never sound like a pre-war Martin. I hope you like being disappointed, because you ruined the whole guitar by using those modern techniques as well. Martin didn't use vacuum bags to glue their braces on the pre-war dreads either, so you pretty much screwed the pooch on this one.

OK...I'm just joking. But it is fun to poke fun at the traditionalists sometimes!

Well - I never said this one was going to be a pre-war and I was at least half right on the bracing. Go back to the bottom of page 2 and on page 3 to see where I glue up the top bracing using the go bar deck using HHG:)
